Former MPBA Scholarship Winner to Become Local Veterinarian

Ben Greer - 2022 MPBA Scholarship Winner Sponsored by: Avenue Veterinary Clinic

I am Ben Greer. I grew up on a farm in Marshfield, Missouri where my Dad is a local Veterinarian. I went with him on many calls and my first job was working at the Animal Medical Center in Marshfield. My favorite subject at Marshfield High School was FFA and my SAE projects always centered around animals. Growing up we had a variety of animals including corgis and a variety of pets. I am currently finishing up my last year at the University of Missouri's College of Veterinary Medicine and have accepted a position at the Animal Medical Center in Marshfield where I will start working next summer after my graduation. The Missouri Pet Breeders Association has awarded me three Scholarships during my time as a Vet Student and I personally want to thank them again for the support those scholarships awarded me. Not only were the scholarships helpful monetarily but the encouragement to keep on going was invaluable. Vet school is hard and eight years of college is a lot. I am ready to get out there and start working to help the community that has helped me. The Animal Medical Center specializes in large and small animals and I am excited and ready to experience the whole realm. I have worked hard to learn in school but I know the real life experiences will be my biggest teacher. I am humbled by the support you have given me and look forward to meeting many of you and helping you in return.

Sincerely,

Ben Greer
