I grew up on a small organic produce farm. After graduating from Cornell, I worked at the university assisting in a solar grazing research until the study was done.
I then became the animal husbandry supervisor at the Binding Site, a part of Thermofisher Scientific, until I came back to work at Cornell as a teaching support specialist in the Animal Science Department.
After two years, I went back to the Binding Site before returning to Cornell as the campus farms manager.
