Hello. I’m Kariel Hernandez, soon to be Kariel Resto-Buchanan. I’m currently a student at ODU, pursuing the pre-vet med/marine biology track. My ultimate goal is to earn a Bachelor’s in marine biology and then proceed to vet school to pursue a DVM/PhD in veterinary medicine. My dream is to one day establish and manage my own practice as an aquatic vet. I have a profound passion for biology, animals, and our oceans, and I aim to make meaningful contributions to this amazing field that I love so much!
