My Future Plans and Career Statement
I aspire to be a kind trusted breeder and rancher, and to use what skills I have learned to help myself but also to help others. I believe that if we have ranchers work together with agencies like NRCS then we can come up with better solutions to help our Earth thrive with us. To help with these plans I want to go to the military to get that one on one dog training, then go into college to get into the genetic level of dogs to help improve species health. If all goes according to plan I will have a ranch that I want to have open to help ranchers or people that want to get into that type of work.

Internship Overview
Edited Internship Promo Video (Dec 5, 2022 at 3:21 PM)Goals I set for myself
How to ask questions- I put this as a goal because I wanted to be able to ask the questions that could give me the best understanding to what I didn't understand. I believe I achieved this goal because I was able to ask questions that brought me more in depth into each thing.
Develop skills in different systems- I wanted to be able to understand engineering systems from the GPS unit to AutoCad. I believe for the amount of time I had a learned a lot about both systems. I wish I did have more time to dive deeper into Autocad so I could do more with the software.
Be able to teach- I wanted to understand the GPS system well enough for anyone to follow along. I hit this goal because I understood it well enough to teach to people that had no to little experience in that particular device.
