AUBURN, Ala. -Amy Hansen traces her desire to become a veterinarian to her favorite childhood TV show.
“I have grown up loving Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He was my idol growing up, and I’ve always grown up in a family with animals,” said Hansen, who recently completed her first year of studies at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “Always been around them. Ever since I was little, strap on my boots and my khaki pants and go marching out into the woods.”
Amy’s love of athletics, specifically running, equaled her love of animals.
