Raven Camp

Raven was born and raised in Ohio. Since a young age, Raven has always loved animals. Through high school, she worked closely with a variety of animal programs in both 4-H and FFA. In 2010 she moved to Florida and started working at a day practice shortly after. This is where she developed her interest in veterinary medicine.
