Along the way, she has been an international animal health intern in Sri Lanka, where she worked with elephants; and she has conducted resarch on equine colic -- a serious, sometimes fatal, digestive disorder of horses -- with Dr. Matthew Gerard,  who presented the findings at an international symosium last fall.
