What attracted to you to the UConn College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural resources?
My dream has always been to study agricultural systems and my mentor at Manchester Community College, Jessica Zolciak, suggested that I transfer to UConn. In January 2017, I came to the Young building where I found only the staff working. They were so friendly and helpful, especially my transfer advisor, Jillian Ives, who made my transition as smooth as possible. The staff and professors at CAHNR are very friendly, cheerful and professional. Those qualities made me feel at home since the very beginning. Also, the classes are small in size, and because of my personality I knew it was going to be a good fit for me.
