She is a former Gavitt Communications Fund Professional Writing Experience student and has been heavily involved in co-curricular programs in CAHNR during her undergraduate studies. After graduation she plans to be work on her family’s dairy farm, specifically focusing on dairy reproduction. Here is what she said about her time at UConn.
What attracted you to UConn? I was initially attracted to UConn’s beautiful and welcoming campus. The first time I visited UConn, I knew it felt like home and was where I wanted to spend my next four years. As I approach graduation and look back at my undergraduate career, I cannot imagine having spent it anywhere else.
What is your major, and why did you choose it? My major is in animal science. I also hold minors in applied business management and food science. I grew up on a dairy farm in western Massachusetts, so I always knew that I wanted a future career working with animals. The Department of Animal Science at UConn has provided me with a vast array of opportunities and given me the tools and knowledge to succeed in the dairy industry.
