Why did you choose SUNY Cobleskill?
I chose SUNY Cobleskill because it fit my personality and I had heard many positive things about the college from alumni, family and friends.

 

What is your favorite place to be (on campus or in the community) here in Cobleskill?
My favorite place on campus is the Woodsmen's Club training facility over by the greenhouses.

 

Is there a professor who inspires you in and/or out of the classroom?
The entire Plant Science department as a whole have become friends and mentors of mine and I keep in touch with them over the summer.

 

How do you keep busy outside of the classroom?
I am an avid Timbersport athlete. I am president of the Woodsmen's Club and have been competing with the club for the three years I've been at SUNY Cobleskill.

 

What are your future plans for after SUNY Cobleskill?
After college I plan on working as an arborist and landscaper in New York State.
