Danielle Reyes
Senior Danielle Reyes of Rockaway Park, Queens decided to attend SUNY Canton because of the Veterinary Technology bachelor’s degree, which is one of a few of its kind in the nation.
“I always wanted to take care of animals, ever since I was little,” she said. “I wanted to be a veterinarian, but as I grew older, I read more about veterinary technicians, and it interested me so much.”
In addition to her studies, Danielle became involved with the College Activities Board (CAB).
“In the Fall of 2021, I became CAB Secretary, and I was re-elected for the 2022-2023 year,” she said. “Having this position has given me so many opportunities, and I feel like it has helped me improve my grades and my overall experience on campus.”
She said her favorite class so far has been Small Animal Medicine and Therapeutic Techniques because it’s a very hands-on course that will help her to become a better student and future technician.
After Danielle graduates in May, she plans to take the Veterinary Technology National Exam and become a licensed technician.
