Her greatest passions within veterinary medicine include equine sports medicine, taking a One Health approach, and improving access to care. She is originally from Los Altos, California. Outside of her studies, Morgan’s favorite activities include riding and competing in various disciplines, hiking, and exploring National Parks. One of the things she is looking forward to most about the 2025 SAVMA Symposium is the opportunity to host the many students who will be traveling to Davis and California for the very first time!

When she isn’t in class, Haley’s favorite ways to relax include running, weight lifting, hiking and baking. One of the things she is looking forward to sharing at the 2025 SAVMA Symposium is the Friday night TG, which she knows will highlight the amazing community at UC Davis.

Fundraising Chair

Izzy Pulido

Izzy Pulido is a second year veterinary student interested in pursuing a career in small animal medicine. Within the realm of veterinary medicine, Izzy is passionate about incorporating additional holistic therapies such as acupuncture and treating the patient as a whole to address issues at their root while fostering a deep relationship with the client and patient. Outside of veterinary medicine, Izzy enjoys competing in triathlons, practicing yoga, and spending time with her rescue Aussie, Churro. One of the things she is looking forward to the most about the 2025 SAVMA Symposium is the opportunity to bring vet students together from all over the country (and world) and help them continue to further their passion!
