“I am truly honored and grateful to represent Ross University and the LatinX community. This award not only validates all my hard work but offers encouragement and motivation to keep pursuing my dream. Success takes help so thank you Heartland Veterinary Partners for your generous financial support.”

Mariana Leiva (Class of 2024) Heartland

Veterinary Partners Scholarship

The daughter of immigrant parents, Mariana spent hours at the library learning about cat anatomy and animal health when her childhood cat got sick and veterinary care wasn’t an option. Nursing her pet back to health led her toward a love for science. Mariana hopes to pursue small animal internal medicine.

“I chose the career path to educate low-and-middle income populations on burn prevention and safety after seeing an influx of burn injuries among seniors, homeless, maternity, and undocumented populations. When we see something that needs fixing and we have it in our power to do so, we do it! My goal after graduation is to start the first ever burn prevention outreach program in the DC metropolitan area.”
