Campus involvement/organizations: Pre-Vet club Favorite WTAMU tradition: I have the privilege of being the third generation in my family to attend WTAMU, and what led me to be a part of this campus is the tradition of family. Favorite WTAMU course you have taken so far and why: My favorite course I have taken at WTAMU would have to be my AGRI 2300: Professional Leadership Development class. In the class, I was surrounded by other transfer students, and well all created a bond in that class.

I enjoy going up there to get my studying done and use the study rooms when available.

Classification: Senior Major: General Agriculture College/university attended: Northeastern Junior College Hometown: Avondale, CO Plans after graduation: To work on getting my master's, then finding a successful job. Most important advice for new transfer students: Starting over at a university can be difficult, but if you're willing to get to know the people around you, it can be surprising how much you really have in common. Campus involvement/organizations: I am currently an Agriculture Ambassador for the Department of Agricultural Sciences, I am in the Collegiate FFA club, and love to go to as many sporting events as I can. I also dabble in a little bit of intramural sports competitions. Favorite WTAMU tradition: My favorite tradition that I was introduced to this year would probably have to be the fight song since they play it at every game, along with having the buffalo in front of the field at the football games. Favorite WTAMU course you have taken so far and why: I'd have to say my favorite WTAMU course was the professional leadership and development class. I was able to learn a lot of important skills, meet people within the industry, as well as meet a lot of other transfers who came in the same time I did, ultimately introducing me to some of my greatest friends! Favorite place on the WT campus and why: The buffalo stature fountain. It's honestly just a calming kind of place, even when there are hundreds of students walking by.
