>> Well, I went to Penn State.
I was in the College of Agricultural Sciences.
My major was Food Science.
When I first came in as a freshman I really want to do product development, really wanted to work
for Hershey's, Ben & Jerry's, everything like that.
But as I came here, I got involved with some study abroads and really found
out that I loved all the international stuff that was going on.
I did study abroad to France and I went to Ireland and really loved, you know, the politics
and just learning about what other countries are doing as far as agriculture and then
that eventually led me into my minor of international agriculture.
I ended up with USDA through Penn State Alumni.
She actually came back and talked to our class and I just kind of kept connected
with her throughout the rest of my time here and then afterwards.
And she sent me the job announcement, kind of help me with my resume, gave me some tips
and really helped me get in with the Foreigner Agricultural Service.
