Allison wins national proficiency

Cayci Allison of the Lemoore FFA chapter in Lemoore, California, has dreamt of becoming a veterinarian since she was a child and today, she has the opportunity to work at a local animal clinic. As a freshman, her job was to clean cages and kennels and laundry. Fast forward four years and her responsibilities have grown to include assisting in surgeries and with emergencies. Allison plans on pursuing an advanced degree in veterinary medicine and return to the local animal clinic. She is supported by parents Allison Holmes and Steve Allison and FFA advisor Marybeth Hearn. This award is sponsored by American Veterinary Medical Association.
