Goals and interests

Career goal

Following my graduation next year from Oregon State University, I will be working to bring one or more of my small business ideas into reality. I am considering a horseback trail riding business, a horse boarding facility, a commercial fishing business, or eventually a guest lodge venture-- any of which might provide me with the opportunity to mesh an entrepreneurial business career with my passion for the outdoors.

Graduate school interests

Following my graduation with a four-year Bachelor's degree, I do not at this time have any further graduate school interests. I am considering furthering my education with a minor related to agriculture, rangeland management, or hospitality industry subjects.

Outside the classroom

Outside of school and work my hobbies include horse training, trail riding and gaming/ team penning with my horse, soccer, crossfit, hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, farm chores, woodcraft and woodburning art, photography, reading and creative writing, and traveling. I look for any way I can to get outside and be active!
