Hands-on experiences, in addition to industry exposure, have been crucial. The program itself has faculty and students with many diverse interests and areas of study, which provides unique perspectives and experiences.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do you do when you\u2019re not studying\/working? (You could talk about your hobbies, family, friends and\/or what you do for fun!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When I\u2019m away from campus, I enjoy hiking, fishing, and running wherever I can get away to with friends and family. I grew up around a lot of animals, so I enjoy a lot of time with my dog, Rogue, who often goes hiking with me. I enjoy watching sports, especially any Oregon State team.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When will you finish your program? What\u2019s next? What\u2019s your dream job?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will be finishing up my master\u2019s this June, then I will spend the summer traveling around Europe and the United States. After summer, I will be starting my career within forest products. My dream job and my eventual career goal is to be an executive on a forest products board of directors, where I can combine my knowledge, skills, and experience to benefit the company.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-355\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/collegeofforestry\/files\/2019\/04\/IMG_0033-e1555338288971-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3115\/files\/2019\/04\/IMG_0033-e1555338288971-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3115\/files\/2019\/04\/IMG_0033-e1555338288971-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you could be an animal, what animal would you be and why?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I would be a dog because loyalty, friendliness, ability to learn fast, fast-speed, and an adventurous spirit are great traits to have, which a dog already possesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did you end up at Oregon State as an undergrad?
