When University of Hawai?i at M?noa alumna Jemma Baird saw the chance for hands-on experience at animal rescues in Italy, she jumped at the opportunity. The animal science (pre-veterinary) major earned her bachelor’s degree in May 2022. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, Baird moved to Hawai?i to pursue marine biology, but decided to pursue animal science because of her interest in working with domesticated animals and livestock.
