Profile: 

Using cutting edge research and technology to improve the productivity, welfare, and sustainability of animal agriculture. This will ensure a sustainable and well-producing food and material supply for future generations. Seeking to expand my knowledge to new areas that can help me with identifying novel questions and solutions in my own research. I would like to become a professor with a mostly research appointment. I wish to develop bovine models for the molecular biology of human embryogenesis. This is also applied to embryo production practices in cattle for the improvement of success post-embryo transfer to support the greatest rate of genetic gain in our herds.
