Aariana Ridge

Hi there! I am a third-year Animal Science major at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I just started my minor in Natural Resource Conservation. My interests range from a variety of activities and hobbies both heavily animal care related, as well as creatively. Throughout high school I was very involved in extracurricular activities in sports such as soccer, and varsity indoor and outdoor track and field. I was also member of various organizations within Attleboro High School such as the school's art club, Safe Space, Answer for Cancer, as well as a volunteer for the local community through my church St. John's the Evangelist at the Hebron Food Pantry. While at Umass I have taken many classes that have provided me with hands on experience with horses, sheep, chickens and goats.

I have always shown a love and passion for animal care and science, and I've taken this passion and applied it to my current degree track in Animal Science at UMass Amherst. Aside from my obvious love for animals and the arts, some of my other interests include anime, music, nature, reading, hiking, traveling, family/friends, gaming, trying new things, adventure, and a taste for spontaneity.
