I grew up in southeastern Montana with a strong
agricultural background and attended MSU to obtain a B.S. in Animal Science with a writing minor. My interests are in nutrition as it relates to reproductive soundness and behavior. I would like to pursue an internship in equine medicine, overseas, if possible. I expect to graduate with a DVM in May 2004 and prefer to practice mixed animal medicine in my native state.
