Image	Santina Gutshall, CVT received her Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Medical Technology in 2022 and works as a Certified Veterinary Technician and technician supervisor at Animal Hospital of Dauphin County in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Gutshall is passionate about client education, hands-on patient care, and mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals. She enjoys sharing her knowledge with new veterinary technicians and technician assistants, particularly in venipuncture and safe restraint techniques. She said, “Leadership is not only about having a title, but about helping others build confidence, sharing what you have learned, and creating opportunities for those around you to grow.” Gutshall’s journey from ��̽�� into her career was shaped by both professional and personal experiences, including adopting her dog, Louise, after her surgery class in 2021 where Louise was a patient for the class.

During her time at Wilson, Potter was actively involved in student life: playing for the softball team, serving as WCGA President, working in Residence Life (as a resident assistant and graduate assistant), and being an active officer in several athletic organizations and clubs across campus. Potter's personal motto, "It's not about the action, it's about the reaction," reflects her approach to leadership, education, and coaching.

He now works as a senior accountant at Brad Etchberger CPA, where he has worked since joining the firm as an intern in 2021.

He also served three years as treasurer of the Fulton County Friends of the Library.
