I was born and raised on a farm in Northwest Missouri in a village called Turney. I’ve been around dogs, horses, cows, goats, pigs and of course cats my entire life. I graduated from Liberty High School in May 2014, then started at Mizzou the following August. I am a Pre-Vet Fisheries and Wildlife major and a Captive Wild Animal Management minor. After I graduate, I plan to attend the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mizzou to hopefully become an exotic veterinarian with a speciality in Reproductive biology. In my free time, I write and play music, browse social media, watch Netflix, and play with my plethora of kitties including Sunshine, Kandi, Evelyn, Jackie, Yin, Oscar, Lilo, Nanette, and the kittens.
