Ms. LaGesse had a clear vision for her future. “I just want to help animals,” she says. However, she was unsure of how to overcome the challenge of “balancing work, school, and being a mom.” While family matters sometimes deter mothers from seeking new careers, it was Ms. LaGesse's children who inspired her to enroll at Stautzenberger College's Maumee Campus. “I want my kids to understand everything needs love and attention,” says Ms. LaGesse.

Encouraged by her favorite instructor, Dr. Cole, Ms. LaGesse persevered through classes such as Animal Facility Management, Client Communication, and Foundational Principles of Animal Health and Nutrition. She completed an externship at MedVet and graduated from the animal welfare management program. Currently, she works for NAMSA (North American Science Associates) as an Animal Welfare Associate.
