What do you like about the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources?
I love that it has the feel of a small college inside the larger university. I already see people I know in the hallways here.
What is your most memorable Ag or UD experience?
In Animal Science lab, there was a sheep portion where we had to trim hooves. My partner and I, of course, picked the heaviest one to hold up. It was my first experience with the physically demanding side of my major and it was so much fun.
What are your career goals?
I hope to go onto vet school to specialize in companion animals or exotic animals.
What is an interesting or unusual fact about you?
I have played piano for 7 years and guitar for 3 years.
What is your favorite book, movie, or song?
My favorite book is called Vulpes, the Red Fox. It's simply about the life of this fox and his interactions with people. It's absolutely incredible.
