About Liz Devitt

I was the quintessential little girl who loved horses. I didn’t want Barbie dolls; I wanted Breyer horse models, riding boots, and every equine book ever written. When I grew up, I broadened my horsey horizons to become a veterinarian. I was sworn to protect public health and licensed to heal every species—except our own. That vast territory of veterinary medicine once felt boundless to me. Now, growing conflicts among animals, man, and the environment threaten the well-being of us all, and I feel limited by my profession. I want to have more global impact. Journalism, my other lifelong love, was the perfect solution. As a writer, I plan to hoof it around the world and use my medical history to find the science stories that might create our healthier future.
