What do you like about the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources?
Because UD is a larger school, there are plenty of research opportunities, studies abroad, sports teams, and fun activities to keep busy. However, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is much smaller and makes for a close knit community. I truly believe this is Delaware's advantage.
What is your most memorable Ag or UD experience?
I scooped free ice cream for Delaware Decision Days this year. It was really fun to see everybody's reactions when they found out the ice cream was made from UD's own cows.
What are your career goals?
I hope to work as a food scientist in the research and development section of a food company. I'm really interested in product development and hope to see some of my creations on the supermarket shelves.
What is an interesting or unusual fact about you?
My favorite vacation spot when I was younger was an old fashioned dude ranch. My family would stay there for almost two weeks and it was a lot of fun.
What is your favorite book, movie, or song?
My favorite band is Brand New. My favorite movies are Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.
