Chupacabras in the Corrals

Date/Time: 2/13/2026   8:00:00 AM - 9:00:00 AM
Room: Grand Ballroom DEF  
Speaker: Tera Rooney Barnhardt Johnson KS
Objective of Talk “Chupacabras in the Corrals” will shine a light on the hidden monsters that creep into our early years as veterinarians—imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and the pressure to have it all figured out. I’m not far ahead of where you are now, and I want to share the lessons, missteps, and small wins that helped me realize those monsters aren’t real. This talk is about finding confidence in your own path, owning your place in the corrals, and knowing you belong here just as much as anyone else.
