She started in marketing for a financial firm but soon realized she wanted something more.
When she learned about VEG and the Early Entry Track program, she jumped at the
opportunity to join the VEGolution and help the EET team in creating rockstar VEG ER
doctors. For Jill, an animal lover, working in veterinary medicine has been a dream.
Her favorite part of the job is working closely with veterinarians, who she deeply admires
for what they do. In Jill’s free time, she enjoys walking around NYC, listening to pop culture
podcasts, and stopping everyone with a pitbull to ask if she can pet them.
ABBY PAPAKONSTANTIS
Associate Director of Education Programs
Abby received her undergraduate degree from the State University of New York College
at Cortland and her Master’s Degree in Higher Education from Rutgers University. She
has been with VEG for over 2 years and has loved every minute of it. Her favorite part of

veterinary students with life-long fulfilling careers at VEG and watching them grow
throughout the EET program. In her free time, she likes to stroll around NYC with her
puppy, Cannon.
