Kevin
Lockman Intern From Chino Hills, Kevin is currently a fourth year Animal Science student at Cal Poly. Upon graduation, Kevin plans to attend veterinary school and eventually hopes to open his own exotic animal veterinary hospital. Kevin’s interest in animals began at a young age as he grew up watching Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin, and naturally Kevin developed a strong passion for exotic animals. This passion led to his desire to become an exotic veterinarian. In his free time Kevin also enjoys hiking, and playing soccer and ultimate frisbee. |
