Favorite spot on campus
I spend 110% of my life in Rhoades Science Center.

How did you end up at VCSU?
I visited once to learn about the Fisheries and Wildlife program prior to enrolling. After meeting with the advising faculty, I was immediately sold. VCSU has the best Fisheries and Wildlife Science program in the state of North Dakota, primarily due to the outstanding work that our professors do on a daily basis.

What are your goals after graduating from VCSU?
I will be attending grad school, pursuing a M.S. and Ph.D in fisheries science. My career goal is to become a fisheries biologist for a state government agency.

What is the best part about living in Valley City?
The fishing in and around Valley City is phenomenal year-round.

When you’re not in class, where are you?
Catching fish at an undisclosed location

If you could have a conversation with anyone dead or alive who would it be?
