Lasha Hicks knows what she wants and is fearless in the pursuit of her goals. She’s a third-year veterinary student in the Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine, President of the Class of 2024, and President of the Tuskegee Chapter of SAVMA.  She knows that having the courage to step out of her comfort zone has been central to her success as a veterinary student leader and life overall.   Listen as she discusses the power of challenging assumptions; and the value of connecting with people who help build you up. And if that wasn’t enough, there are also a couple of funny tales about a pet deer named Bartholomew, and a middle-of-the-night clandestine adventure to help catch a couple of rogue cats!
