Goals/Ambitions
During my 4 years here at Cal Poly I hope to enhance my knowledge of dairy cattle and become more efficient in my work. More specifically, I would like to become an expert on dairy nutrition in plans to become a nutritionist after I graduate from Cal Poly. Another main focus of mine is family. In the future being able to take care of and provide for my family is very important to me, and I believe this is another step towards meeting that goal.
