Introducing your SAVMA Secretary Jennifer Linton 

Name, Position on EB: Jenn Linton

School and Year: University of Pennsylvania, 2012

Hometown: Redding, CT

Your area of interest within veterinary medicine: Equine Medicine!! I love ambulatory and reproduction. 

Description of what your office entails: I take minutes at all Executive Board Conference Calls, HOD Meetings, EB meetings during symposium, and (now) the SCAVMA President's Meeting. I also make the AVMA Convention and SAVMA Symposium binders. 

Your favorite thing about holding that office: Spending time with the other members of the EB, sitting in on the SCAVMA Presidents meeting to understand what's going on at other schools, and meeting members of the AVMA Executive Board

Something exciting that your office is doing/has done for vet students this past year: We're working on making the EB meetings more transparent by sending out brief synopses to the delegates, who can then send the information to their delegations, to make sure that issues move swiftly through SAVMA and are addressed in a timely manner. 

Your favorite SCAVMA related experience thus far (EB or not): Meeting my long-lost sister, Claire McPhee. And making friends at every veterinary school in the nation!

Something fun about yourself: I love hiking (which is why I can't wait to get back to New England). I love playing basketball and volleyball, and my study breaks during exam times involve reading Shakespeare and Jane Austen (nerd through and through!).
