Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan to graduate from Kansas State University with a bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences with an emphasis in Pre-Vet. I, then, plan to continue my education and attend a technical college to receive an additional degree (associate's degree) in a Vet-Tech program. After having obtained a Vet-Tech associate's degree and a bachelor's in Animal Sciences, I plan to attend Veterinarian School (grad school), on the path to becoming a licensed vet (DVM) and practice in a clinical setting or work for the USDA ensuring the safety, quality, and regulations for animal welfare at processing plants.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies are endless; they include everything from sports to art to baking to singing. In my free time, I spend countless hours in the kitchen, whether it's trying new recipes or making past favorites. I enjoy baking and cooking! I also like to draw; I typically stick to pencil drawings, only black and white shading. I am not the best but I thoroughly enjoy singing to new and old music! I also love to play, as well as watch, sports. I enjoy playing, watching, and coaching volleyball. I enjoy watching football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc. I spend a lot of free time at the fitness center lifting weights, running, and swimming, too. Being outdoors in the sunshine, camping, fishing, hiking, spending days at the lake or ocean are also hobbies of mine.
