What do you like about the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR)?
I love that it is a small college that gives me many opportunities to get to know the faculty on a personal basis. The fact that we have many research opportunities and places to learn more about the environment right in our backyard is also one of the things that I really value about the College of Ag and Natural Resources.

What is your most memorable CANR or UD experience?

The first year experience class that I took as a freshman was my best experience so far. It introduced me to some of my really good friends who also share the same interests as me.

I have raised seven service dogs for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI).

What are your career goals?

I would love to work at a zoo, or wildlife park, or travel the world to learn more about conservation methods and animals; though anything I do with animals will make me happy.

What is an interesting or unusual fact about you?

I have raised seven service dogs for CCI.

What is your favorite book, movie, or song?

I could never pick a favorite book as I have too many! Though my current favorite song is Soldier by Gavin DeGraw
