What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in swine or farm management where I can apply animal care, breeding, and business management skills in a collaborative, growth-oriented agricultural organization.

I am an Animal Sciences student at Purdue University with hands-on experience owning and operating a small swine production business. I manage daily animal care, breeding decisions, sales and purchases, and company finances while maintaining high standards of animal welfare and biosecurity.

My practical background includes swine management on a commercial farm, livestock vaccination and processing, facility sanitation, and feed ration preparation. I bring leadership experience as an agriculture senator and former class president, along with awards and long-term 4-H involvement that demonstrate commitment to agricultural practice and community engagement.
