Alumni Spotlight: Corinne Woodson '14
Read MoreFrom the moment she discovered Animal Planet, Corinne Woodson ’14 knew she was destined to work with animals, even before she could put a name to the profession. “I didn’t grow up with a lot of pets,” she laughs, “but I was obsessed with animals on TV. I loved Animal Planet, and I loved biology. So I asked myself, what can I do that combines those two things?”That question led her straight toward veterinary medicine. The spark was fanned into a flame in sixth grade at Indian Creek, in Ms. Tukarski’s science class. “That’s when I really fell in love with biology,” Corinne recalls. “We were in the Double Helix Science Club, and I just became obsessed with life science. By the time I got to high school, it was already cemented. I was going to be a vet, and nothing was going to stop me.” -
