Tess Collins is the new Admissions Coordinator for the College of Veterinary Medicine. Tess grew up in Idaho, originally living up north in the panhandle and then moving to Boise to complete her undergraduate degree in psychology. She moved to Corvallis three years ago to complete her Masters of Education degree in College Student Services Administration.
Prior to joining us, Tess worked in the Center for Teaching and Learning at OSU, where she was a Program Coordinator and provided graduate students with trainings and professional development opportunities. Tess is thrilled to have an opportunity to work with pre-vet students and to learn more about the admissions process. Tess has a special interest in working with veterinary students as she has been housemates with two current vet students for almost three years!
Outside of work, Tess enjoys outdoor activities such as running, biking, backpacking, hot springing and gardening. She loves to travel and favorite destinations include Thailand, Central America, and around the PNW. Tess has a cat named Emma Noodles and is an aspiring cat lady.
