After Graduation: Marie is currently hoping to pursue a masters or PhD in animal behavior. She is hoping to have hands-on work with both horses and companion/lab animals.

Favorite Part about APSC: Being from the suburbs of NJ, Virginia Tech has given me more hands-on experience in my time here than I ever imagined. In my first semester, I was out at the barn at least once a week. After my freshman year, I had the opportunity to participate in an equine study abroad to Germany, with so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and even got to ride.
