  Animal Institute Attendee
  I was given the opportunity to tour animal industry facilities throughout Kansas City, such as Delaval and Nestle Purina, and I networked with industry professionals and learned about opportunities within the animal industry.
- Purdue University
  May 2019 - May 2021
  I lead lab sections in which students may ask questions for assistance on assignments or for extra help on course material with a focus on the Python programming language, and I grade students’ assignments for correctness and provide feedback for improvement. I assist students in building study skills and in gaining understanding of topics presented to them in their classes while also attaining deeper knowledge of prior classes to better help students. Through the REEU program in Digital Agriculture lead by Dr. Dennis Buckmaster, I learned about data analysis in Agriculture, and I developed a software to simulate farming operations based on weather and soil data.
