2021-2022 Executive Officers

President/ ICC Chair

Nicole Emerson is a Biology major in her third year at CSUF. From a young age she has always loved animals as well as science which led her to wanting to become a veterinarian. She currently works at a mixed animal clinic where she works with dogs, cats, pigs, goats, rabbits, llamas, and some exotics. The wide variety of animals she has seen has made her unsure of what type of animals she wants to work with, but she is mainly interested in pursuing large, small, and exotic animal medicine.

​If you have any questions for her please contact her at nemerson@csu.fullerton.edu

Vice President/ Secretary 

Mackenzie Guerini-Bolt is an undergraduate entering her 5th year as a Biochemistry major to further her studies in veterinary medicine. From a young age, she had the desire to help her community and animals.. She believes that by becoming a veterinarian that goal can be fulfilled. Additionally, she has worked in the veterinarian setting as a veterinary technician working with canines and felines for the past few years. The experiences that she has obtained further solidified her desire to pursue her career path of veterinary medicine. The information learned about animals and how owners can take care of them is something she wants to share with everyone and the pre-vet club is one of places she knows that info can be shared.

Social Chair

Upon entering his first year at CSUF, he finally decided to pursue a career within the veterinary field of medicine. His main goal is to graduate from either Western, Texas A&M, or Midwestern and become a veterinarian for years to come. However, Devaun is also open-minded toward other career pathways related to animal care. As the social chair he is responsible for organizing club events, but as a Pre-Veterinary Club member he hopes to help other members strive towards their own goals.
