The WildLIFE blog was founded by Cornell veterinary students Isabel Jimenez, Zachary Dvornicky-Raymond, and Sarah Balik (Class of 2019), as a student-focused resource to highlight the experiences and opportunities in wildlife medicine available at and through the College of Veterinary Medicine. The blog seeks to provide prospective Cornell applicants with an overview of wildlife medicine in the curriculum at the College, and to emphasize to the wide array of extracurricular opportunities available to Cornell vet students – including the alumni-funded Expanding Horizons international program, Engaged Cornell, the Janet L. Swanson Wildlife Health Center, the Animal Health Diagnostic Center, and more.
Feel free to email questions, comments, and suggestions to us at wildlifecornell@gmail.com. If you are an incoming or current Cornell CVM student interested in writing a post for the blog, please contact us!

Maison Scheuer, Class of 2025 – Editor
Maison Scheuer is the 2022-2023 WildLIFE Blog Editor and a proud member of Cornell ZAWS. Her passions lie at the intersection of veterinary medicine and wildlife conservation. She loves to travel and has spent time in Canada, Thailand, Alabama, Belize, and Honduras where she studied Columbian ground squirrels, elephant conservation, wildlife rehabilitation, and veterinary medicine. Though particularly interested in One Health and international medicine, she has also discovered a love for small animal medicine through her experience working as a veterinary technician at a full-service exotics and small animal private practice. Maison is so excited to be continuing the work of the WildLIFE blog, highlighting the amazing work done by her peers.
