What do you like about the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources?
Being a part of CANR provides me with smaller classes and more focused coursework in my major but I'm still attending a larger university.  Over my first two years at UD, I've had so many hands-on experiences that would be hard to find at other universities.     

What is your most memorable Ag or UD experience?        
Studying wildlife conservation abroad in the east African country of Tanzania this past winter 2012 has by far been my most memorable University of Delaware experience.

What are your career goals?
I hope to attend graduate school following my time here at UD!     

What is an interesting or unusual fact about you?    
I was attacked by a Black Kite (bird of prey that wanted my food) at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania -- resulting in a talon to my face and a souvenir feather.

What is your favorite book, movie, or song?
Book - Marley and Me
Movie - Signs
Song - Boys of Summer by Don Henley
