Catie is a fourth-year undergraduate student double majoring in Animal Science and Chemistry. She is originally from Lexington, Kentucky where she grew up spending the summers at her family farm taking care of horses. Her high school involvement with FFA fostered a deep love for the agricultural industry. After developing a passion for animal agriculture, she looked out west to further her education. Catie is greatly looking forward to the opportunity to get involved with research while applying knowledge from both of her majors.
