Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison? Growing up in Wisconsin, being a Badger is the ultimate goal. The Diary Science education offered at UW-Madison is one of the best you can receive. Attending UW-Madison has always been important to me, so I worked hard to be able to meet the qualifications and be accepted here.
What has been your most memorable college experience? There have been so many, but getting involved in the clubs on campus like Saddle and Sirloin and Badger Dairy Club have been some of the most memorable. These clubs offered me the opportunity to be involved in events like World Dairy Expo and the Badger Kick-Off Classic.
What has been your favorite course? My favorite course was Milo Wiltbank’s Reproductive Management course, Dairy Science 534. Dr. Wiltbank had us in the barn breeding and ultra-sounding cows every day, which was an incredible experience. It’s courses like this, taught by internationally recognized professors, that make UW-Madison such a great learning environment.
What are your future career goals? I will be working for Form A Feed as a nutrition and production specialist, focusing on dairy. Growing up on a dairy farm and doing two feed internships has given me a strong passion for working with farmers to help them scale goals set for their herd.
