From marketing to veterinary a practical, evidence-led journey

I’m Martin. I’m a career changer working towards vet school, with a focus on animal welfare, wildlife and conservation. This site is where I document what I’m learning, the experience I’m building, and what I’d do differently if I started again. MY BLOG CONTACT ME

What you’ll find on this site

  • Study notes from Access to HE (what landed, what didn’t, and the bits I had to learn twice)
  • Work experience and volunteering logs (practical, honest, and hopefully useful)
  • Wildlife and welfare rabbit holes (papers, ethics, conservation trade-offs)
  • Resources for career changers (checklists, templates, and admin you can steal)

What I’m focusing on right now

Study: Building strong fundamentals in biology and chemistry, plus consistent exam technique.
Experience: Getting real exposure to animal care and clinical settings, and learning how good teams work under pressure.
Direction: Exploring the overlap between welfare science, conservation outcomes, and what vet work looks like day to day.

  • Work experience or shadowing in veterinary practice, wildlife rehab, or conservation settings
  • Introductions to vets, vet nurses, wildlife rehabilitators, or welfare researchers
  • Suggestions for placements that are genuinely educational (I’m not above mopping, I just want to learn while I do it)
