 **Favorite Class or Professor**

 Kimberley Patton’s “Birds in the Ancient World” was a wonderful reminder of academia’s potential to create space for genuinely curious exploration of an unknown world.

 **Message of Thanks**

 Kimberley Patton, David Carrasco, David Holland, and Dan McKanan were particularly valued mentors at HDS. And of course, I couldn’t have gotten here without the immeasurable support of the teachers, friends, and family who have crafted my first 25 years.

 **Future Plans**

 I will be working in external relations for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, helping to bridge agricultural and environmental conversations.
