Hey there! I'm Lisa, a veterinary criticalist and clinical researcher. I have been mentoring residents through their research projects for many years. I've also seen residents struggling with lack of direction or overwhelm when it comes to their research project. My goal is to break this huge task down into teeny tiny steps to make it easier for residents to reach their destination of publication!
