Ryane Cronk

Bio

My name is Ryane Cronk, and I am from Franklin County, Virginia. I went to Virginia Tech prior to VMCVM, and I received a Bachelor's Degree in Dairy Science and am working on a Master's Degree in Animal Welfare/Behavior and Agribusiness. I am a first year student and plan to track Food Animal, as I hope to practice as a large animal veterinarian when I graduate.

I like being a student at Virginia-Maryland because of the hands on opportunities we receive through labs and clubs. One club I am a member of, Food Animal Practitioners Club, gives members many opportunities to gain experience with food animals, such as Saturday morning palpations. I also like being a student here because of the student-faculty relationships. Many of the professors and clinicians here strive to help the students succeed in any field they are interested in. 

Since I was a freshman at Virginia Tech, I have fallen in love with Blacksburg. I love spending my free time taking in the beautiful scenery; from many walking trails, to various hikes, to the New River. Blacksburg truly has something to offer to everyone! The Hokie atmosphere is unmatched and really does feel like home.
