I love to go to the Dairy Bar for ice cream, especially after a long day of classes. Not only am I able to enjoy the amazing ice cream from Cornell Dairy, but it is often where I go to meet my friends after classes.
I am president of the Minority Animal Science Students club, a member of the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) Pre Professional Programs (P3), Native American and Indigenous Students at Cornell (NAISAC), and American Indian Science & Engineering Society at Cornell (AISES). I’m also a project assistant at the Paleontological Research Institute, a student athlete of Cornell Women's Club Basketball and Women's Club Hockey, as well as a veterinary assistant for Rural Area Veterinary Service (RAVS).
My favorite thing about Cornell is how supported I am. I have found a community in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program where I know that if I need help, I always have someone I can reach out to — even if it's not academic-based. The Animal Science program has also offered amazing opportunities and resources to help further my education both inside and outside of the classroom.
CALS allows me to study animal science at an Ivy League school. I am provided with many academic resources like tutoring and support classes, while being able to participate in research that lets me apply what I learn in class.
I love being an animal science major because it mixes my passion for animals with my academics. I get to learn in-depth knowledge of animals while also being able to take classes like Dairy Sheep Management and Equine Management to get hands-on experience and apply what I have learned.
My go-to campus resources for both academic and non-academic support are the staff members at the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP) and Office of Academic Discovery and Impact (OADI). I was introduced to both programs in the Pre-Collegiate Summer Scholars Program and have been able to go to both for any concerns I have.

I found many of my closest friends through clubs and programs, like Women’s Club Basketball and during the Pre-Collegiate Summer Program. I have been able to develop a great community through the Native American and Indigenous Students at Cornell (NAISAC) and attending events for the American Indian and Indigenous Study Program.
I chose Cornell because of its strong Native American program. I liked that there was a program house (Akwe:Kon) for Indigenous students and allies. I felt that I would be able to feel supported academically and be able to interact with students from a similar background as me. I was also attracted to Cornell because of its strong Animal Science program and connections to the veterinary school. There are clubs like the Minority Animal Science Students club where they can pair club members with veterinary students. This was something that I looked forward to being able to participate in as I made my way through my undergraduate degree.
