I call the small town of Rochester my hometown which is outside of Springfield. My goal is to go to vet school at the University of Illinois to obtain my doctorate of veterinary medicine. After graduation my dream is to move out west and own a mixed animal practice with another veterinarian. I was introduced to my first real rodeo in a small town in Oklahoma the summer of 2006. Since then I have been a member of the University of Illinois Rodeo Club and it has been a really exciting ride, meeting lots of awesome people and getting to know the western heritage sport of R-O-D-E-O!
