Hi! I am the youngest of three sisters and one of the few Minnesotans in the house. I love learning, connecting with people, and exploring. I have been lucky to travel to Mexico, Egypt, and Ghana, where I was an exchange student. When I’m not studying, you’ll find me crocheting, painting, or taking my dogs to Starbucks for a pup-cup. Although my major does not directly connect to agriculture, I appreciate Babcock House’s agricultural roots because I come from a family of dairy farmers and I raised chickens in 4-H while growing up. I am drawn to Babcock House because it is full of people who are more down-to-earth.
