What do you like about the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources?
The thing that I liked most about the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is its size. I like that it is a small college in a big university. This really allows for interaction with professors, and gives all the students hands-on experience.   

What is your most memorable Ag or UD experience?
My most memorable Ag experience is ANFS111 lab. This was a class in which we rotated through different sections of the farm. We worked with chickens, milked cows, measured and interacted with calves, and even tackled sheep to cut their hooves!

What are your career goals?
Ultimately, my career goal is to become a small animal veterinarian. I would like to work with mostly cats and dogs and possibly look into exotics as well. 

What is an interesting or unusual fact about you?
The most unusual thing about me is that I can speak fluent Polish.

What is your favorite book, movie, or song?
My favorite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean. I love them all, and can practically recite the first one - ha!
