About
Agriculture. This is my passion. Ever since elementary school, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in this field and make a positive difference in the industry. I am headed into my sophomore year at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln where I am majoring in Animal Science and Minoring in Agribusiness, Grazing Livestock Systems, and Nebraska Beef Industry Scholars. I plan to use my education obtained throughout these programs to pursue a career as a livestock nutritionist and/or a farm financial officer. Aside from these direct careers, I want to serve as a strong advocate for agriculture, specifically the livestock industry.
