Growing up on a first-generation dairy farm fostered my passion for food, welfare, and sustainability at a young age. I applied my passion for dairy and animal science and graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in animal science and a minor in education. As a professional, my foundation in science provides a structure for my love for communications to grow and evolve. I hope to share my knowledge and love of agriculture with consumers, and my understanding of consumers with farmers as we work toward the common goal of feeding the world.
