TAYLOR LUDWICK AGE: 33
Occupation: Veterinarian
Education and Qualifications: I was born and raised in SantaBarbara, CA and received my undergraduate degree from WestmontCollege in 2002. I completed a Masters degree in Agricultural andEnvironmental Chemistry at the University of California, Davis in
2006. I then received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from theUniversity of California, Davis in 2011. My wife is a fifth generationBishop native and graduate of the Bishop school system. We havefour young children, including a third grader, and a kindergartenerat Bishop Union Elementary School.
A mentor once told me Graduate from veterinary school, then learnhow to be a veterinarian. I believe this wise statement has a broaderapplication to education in general. The role of a school is to equipan individual with foundational tools necessary to pursue their chosenpath. The onus is then on the individual to use these too ls to completetheir journey. As a passionate lifelong learner who is still applyingthe tools Ive acquired through extensive schooling, I believe I bringunique perspective and appreciation for quality education. It wouldbe a distinct privilege to serve on the BUSD Board and ensure thatBishop students leave fully equipped with tools for the journey.
