Meet Emily Merry, a recently graduated emergency and general practice veterinarian, co-founder and veterinary content specialist at Scribenote, podcaster, and social media content creator. Her main goal in creating her content is to reach veterinary students and recent graduates to let them know they are not alone, especially if they feel overwhelmed or unsure of themselves in their clinical studies and work. Her content is a combination of funny videos, cute animals, heartfelt confessions, and inspiration for anyone who wants to be part of her community. She has also started a podcast, Hot Vet Mess, where she takes a deeper dive on topics relevant to working as a new grad in vet med. “Being a new grad vet is no joke, and it can feel very isolating and overwhelming,” she said. “I wanted to create a space where people could come together, feel heard and supported and know that we are all in this together.”
