Professional Counselor II
Personal Statement:
As a former student, I am so proud to be back at Texas A&M. I have over twenty years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am passionate about working with my clients to help them achieve their counseling goals. My approach to counseling is down to earth, collaborative and solution oriented. I used whatever approaches would be most helpful for each individual, whether that is teaching skills, improving communication, deepening self-awareness, fostering a positive sense of self and others, and helping students feel empowered in their ability to meet life’s challenges. Currently, I am working in the College of Veterinary Medicine, serving DVM students, residents, and interns. I truly enjoy working with this gifted group of students and healers. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, cooking, watching bad reality TV, laughing, and generally enjoying life.

Carolyn Hodo, DVM, PhD, DACVP
I am a veterinary pathologist at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sicences. My research interests include zoonotic disease ecology and epidemiology, comparative pathology, and within-host pathogen interactions.
My dissertation work with Dr. Sarah Hamer focused on the mammalian reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi, agent of Chagas disease, in the United States. Using field collections, opportunistic sampling, molecular methods, and pathologic examination, I worked to characterize potential reservoirs of T. cruzi in the US, evaluate their relative importance in transmission cycles, and describe host-strain type relationships and their associated pathology. I continued to explore these relationships in my postdoctoral research and am developing independent research directions working toward an academic career.
