Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison?
I chose to attend UW-Madison due to their nationally recognized Dairy Science program and the opportunity to learn from some of the best Dairy Science professors in the world.
What has been your most memorable college experience?
My most memorable experiences have been the study tours and trips I have been able to take advantage of through my involvement with the Collegiate Farm Bureau and Badger Dairy Club.
What has been your favorite course?
Dairy Science 311/313, Ruminant Nutrition and Diet Formulation Lab, was my favorite course because it allowed me to apply my knowledge from biochemistry classes in practical and real situations. The knowledge that I gained in the class will surely serve me well in the future.
Following graduation, I will be working for Kerry Ingredients in management and operations. In the future, I hope to work in food manufacturing and processing or dairy farming and make a real impact on the food supply chain of the world.
