I enjoy doing anything outside. I am very interested in chemistry and biology and am planning to work in a chemistry lab on campus in the next school year. 
 
Why did you choose to participate on the wool judging team? 
I chose to judge with the wool team for a few reasons. Primarily, I felt that wool was the sector of the agricultural industry I knew the least about. The class offered by the university illustrated the importance of wool and built a skill set that helped me to feel that I could be successful in the contest. This made it easy to take the step toward competing. 
As well, judging has been a part of my life since high school and helped me gain confidence in my own ability to think critically in my life. I felt that it was a natural progression to continue judging collegiately.

Why did you choose to participate on the wool judging team? It was something that interested me, and I knew that if I didn't do it I would never do it and I was certain it was something I would regret not participating in.
