How does your degree support your career?
The wide array of classes that AAE offers gives me a rounded edge of knowledge to closely relate to producers in my field. The direct application case studies within the coursework also provides me with related experience that improves my problem-solving efficiency and accuracy.
What drove you to your field?
Being connected to the agricultural field has been an important piece of my upbringing and I always wanted to be in a position where I could contribute to the industry that clothes and feeds the world.
What insight do you have for prospective ABM students?
Oftentimes you’ll hear a million different tips about “networking” or putting yourself out there in one way or another. One of the easiest and often overlooked ways to do this is to engage frequently with peers directly in your classes. When conversations can grow past the initial discussion about an assignment/project you’ll probably find you can learn and gain the most from those around you every day.
