👨‍⚕️ From student to seasoned mentor!
Meet Dr. Jeff Klemens, one of our incredible Ready, Vet, Go mentors.

Swipe to see 20-year-old Jeff back in the summer of ’99, proudly standing outside Eastside Animal Hospital in Jeffersonville, IN. During school breaks, he logged hours of hands-on experience—and even got to neuter his mentor’s cat, Cowboy. ("I was overly pleased with myself,” he says. 😄)

Today, Dr. Jeff brings decades of experience in general practice, emergency medicine, and relief work to the next generation of vets. Whether it’s your first neuter or your first day as a new grad, mentors like Dr. Jeff are here to help guide the way.

✨ Meet Ahzalea Cotto Laó, one of our amazing Veterinary Student Liaisons! ✨

Ahzalea (she/her) is a first-year veterinary student pursuing a career in community and shelter medicine with a special interest in veterinary forensics. As a first-generation student, she brings a wealth of experience working with companion animals, horses, and marine animals.

Ahzalea’s passion for justice led her to complete an externship with the ASPCA’s veterinary forensics center, reinforcing her commitment to protecting animals through forensic science.

When she’s not immersed in her studies, you’ll likely find Ahzalea capturing moments behind a camera, getting lost in a good book, or enjoying a classic horror film. She’s also a strong believer in mentorship and encourages students to build supportive networks as they navigate veterinary medicine.

We’re so proud to have Ahzalea as part of the team, helping connect veterinary students and professionals while inspiring the future of vet med. 💙
