“I currently work in a research trial for cows, work the dairy farm on weekends and the poultry farm on school days. I’m a Teacher’s Assistant for a class on the dairy farm, which has made me even think about teaching. I honestly love what I do for my school and am usually on the farm about 5-7 days a week.”

Advice for future Pact Scholars
”Get involved in as many opportunities that your major has to really explore and see what you love. I want to be a vet, but there are so many opportunities I am still choosing from. If you're still trying to figure out where to start, I would suggest picking a school that provides a lot of opportunities for you and choosing a career path that you know that you could do almost every day and never get tired of.”
