Why did you choose Cornell CALS?

Cornell CALS has a well-known and respected food science program and is a good distance from my hometown.

Looking back over your freshman year at CALS, which classes or experiences were most meaningful?

All of my food science classes have been so meaningful and fun. I feel like I’ve learned a lot about food science and about my own interests. I have also really liked volunteering in Cornell’s Food Sensory Center over the past year.

What kind of research are you interested in?

I am interested in and would be open to many different kinds of research. I have looked into some research options for sensory science, food chemistry, food microbiology, fermentation and product development, and they all sound very enlightening and interesting.
