Question #1: What inspired you to pursue the major you are in?

I grew up with a love for animals and the hope of one day caring for them given that they cannot care for themselves. My appreciation for the natural world and the animals that live in it made me want to do my part to leave it a better place than I found it.

Question #2: What has been the best part of your time in the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences?

The best part for me has been the connection and opportunities that are continually provided to me by the College of Ag Sciences. I feel as though I'm getting a world class education both inside and outside of the classroom.

Question #3: What do you wish you would have known as a new student at Penn State?

I wish I would have known that it’s okay to ask for help. There are people here at Penn State ready and willing to help you with any aspect of your life, whether you need a shoulder to lean on or a some advice.
