Inspired undergraduate pursues an education in animal science in the Herbert College of Agriculture<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

Where are you from, and why did you decide to attend the UT Herbert College of Agriculture?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am from Taft, Tennessee, a small town located in southern middle Tennessee. Growing up heavily involved in 4-H and FFA, visits to the Herbert College of Agriculture were not uncommon. Once it became time to apply for college, UT was at the top of my list. After doing one final tour I knew that I could make Herbert my home.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is your major and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am majoring in animal science with a concentration in bioscience. Growing up on a cow-calf operation, I was immersed in all things agriculture and fell in love with livestock evaluation and 4-H livestock skillathon, so it was a no brainer when it came time to decide my major.<\/p>\n\n\n

What has been your favorite class and\/or who is your favorite professor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout my time at the University of Tennessee, I have taken many interesting classes, but I think I enjoyed Food Science 150: History and culture of food with Dr. David Golden the most.<\/p>\n\n\n
