Malaycia Goldsmith
DVM
Dr. Malaycia Goldsmith was born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She noticed her love for science, and saw the rendition of Dr. Dolittle with Eddie Murphy and wanted to become a veterinarian as a child, in hopes of becoming a chimpanzee focused veterinarian. She received her Bachelor’s degree of Science in Animal Science at North Carolina A&T State University in 2019 and then attended Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine and received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2023. While in Veterinary School, Dr. Goldsmith went to Foz do lguazy, Brazil, participating in a study abroad program geared towards wildlife conservation and public health. This continued her interest in wildlife and pathology.
Soon after graduating, she began her Anatomic Pathology Residency at University of Wisconsin Madison. After life changes, she came back to North Carolina and took advantage of time with family, and her teenager dog she got during veterinary school, Detective Monte.
She enjoys reading, outdoor activities, spending time with family, trying new hobbies like Salsa classes, and helping her family at her local church. She also hopes to begin writing the children’s books, inspired by her almost-imaginary friend that has assisted her in emotional support, a stuffed chimpanzee friend – “Peter” – she’s had since she was a toddler.
She looks forward to healing animals, hugging fur-babies of all sorts and building personal connections with clients!
