Thamires Nunes is powering up!

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life!

That is the mantra of Thamires Nunes, a Class of 2023 graduate of The Ohio State.  Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, her family moved to a small town west of Boston when she was a young child. 

Growing up, she didn’t consider becoming a veterinarian until she met “Jovi” an abandoned kitten she rescued.  Nursing him back to health inspired her to pursue a career in vet med, first through becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician and later, vet school.  She is super passionate about critical care,  so it is no surprise that she’s planning to go into emergency medicine when she graduates and she later hopes to become boarded in ABVP.

Here's some facts about this rising star!

1.   Her parents run a very popular pizza joint in Maynard, Massachusetts, so Thamires is definitely a pizza snob!

2.   As a child, she was terrified of dogs. Thankfully she overcame this!

3.   She is an advocate for sustainable lifestyles and was a co-founder of Project HOME (Helping our mother earth) in college.

4.   Her favorite celebrity is The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah because he can bring humor to difficult subjects.

5.   Her absolute favorite treat is Roasted cheese & Dulce de Leche from Minas Gerais.
