Kylie Rietcheck

I am Kylie Reitcheck. I am a senior at Colby High School readying to graduate in a few short months. My roots are sunk deep into the soil of Colby, Kansas where I have lived out my entire 18 years. Upon my graduation from high school, I plan to expand my education at Kansas State University. I will attend K-State in the fall and pursuit of the coveted DVM. From a young age, working with animals has always fascinated me. As a little girl playing “doctor” on her cats, which they certainly loved, to be able to work at Swartz Vet Hospital; my passion has only grown deeper. Yet, I possess a second desire, traveling. I hope to perpetuate my desire to see the world beyond my own backyard, while intertwining my love for the veterinarian field through K-State’s numerous abroad internships and summer programs. Destinations including Australia, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Furthermore, I plan to return home as often as possible to work in the clinic that gave me my start, Swartz Vet Hospital.
