Episode 1: Careers chat with David Charles
In this episode, David talks about making the change to study veterinary science after initially starting another degree.

He shares his proud moment of representing Black British veterinary students in the USA, the importance of supportive colleagues and the need to look for opportunities when things don't go as planned.
