MSc student
Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB Canada, Canada
I am a Master's degree student at the Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science of the University of Alberta. I am honored to have been awarded the Graduate Research Assistant Fellowship since May 2022. Prior to this, I earned my bachelor's degree in animal science from the University of LaSalle and spent an academic year at the University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. My passion for research led me to complete internships at South Dakota State University, specializing in dairy nutrition, and at the University of Florida, focusing on beef and dairy cattle reproduction. I am an enthusiastic student and have volunteered for various trials conducted by my peers at the University of Alberta. I am currently leading the assessment of ruminal boluses for Hays Converters heifers and Kinsella Composite cows while supporting my graduate colleagues and the research program. I am always looking for opportunities to collaborate with and learn from other research programs.
