Goals and interests

Career goal

My goal is to become involved with a zoo. I love caring for and learning about animals and being a zoo keeper would fulfill my dreams.

Graduate school interests

I plan on going to grad school after I graduate from Ohio University. I do not know for sure where I want to be, but I would love to focus my research on animal conservation.

Outside the classroom

Tennis- I love playing tennis and I have participated in it from my 8th grade year to 12th grade. My last year, I played on the boys team at my school and won 1st place at the Chagrin Valley Conference for second doubles!

Hiking- I really enjoy getting up and going on an early morning hike in the woods. I've been hiking with my dad since fifth grade and have continued on my own at college!

Reading- I read at least three books a month and enjoy every minute of it. I have been into reading since sixth grade when a group of my friends had a challenge to see who could read one hundred books first!
