Welcome to the July issue of Vet Candy Magazine, where we’re not just reporting on the industry—we’re celebrating the game-changers who are rewriting the rules of what veterinary medicine can be. And this month, no one embodies that spirit more than our cover star, Dr. Audrey Shen.
Conservationist. Educator. Innovator. Reality Star. Mother. Scrub designer. Global changemaker.
Dr. Shen is proof that veterinary medicine doesn’t stop at the clinic door—it stretches into the wild, spans continents, and leaves lasting imprints on ecosystems and communities alike.
As the co-founder of International Veterinary Volunteer Opportunities (IVVO), Dr. Shen has created life-changing experiences for veterinary professionals and students, bringing skilled care to underserved areas around the globe. From orangutan conservation in Borneo to emergency wildlife response during Australia’s catastrophic bushfires, her work exemplifies the power of veterinary medicine as a force for global good.
But that’s just the beginning.
