Career
Pursue my career with the University of California; at some point in the future, transfer to the Animal Science Department at the University. After a year and a half on the job, I have an understanding of my responsibilities and a clear vision of what I want to achieve in my current position. I will stay here until I have followed through with that, and then the University of California is my oyster! I still want to end up and the UC Davis Campus, either in the Animal Science Department, or at the School of Vet Medicine.



Passion:
I’ve been dying to start riding horses again, and it’s happening! Reining is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I found out that the West Coast Reining Horse Association is based out of Elk Grove, which is next to Sacramento. I found a great trainer and my first lesson is in three weeks. I’m beyond excited! So many things that I’ve wanted for so long are coming to fruition now. My first goal is to start reining; after that, to win my first buckle; a little bit farther down the road, to be a trainer.

Once I have the car, I’ll spend time taking road trips to the surrounding areas to find out what I like and where I want to live. I will work hard and be true to myself and will meet a man that I love and respect to be my husband and the father of my children. Doing it! I haven’t found the place I’ll call home yet, but I have been exploring and am sure I’ll get there.



Ultimate goal:
House in the country filled with family and a barn on the property filled with horses; a successful horse training business. The ultimate goal is the same and I continue to work toward it!
