I came to OSU after completing my PhD at the University of Melbourne, in Australia, where I studied farm animal behavior and welfare. At OSU, I am working with dairy, swine and poultry producers and scientists in the area of farm animal welfare. I am also involved in research in this area. I am a member of the Dairy Working Group, and also develop educational materials related to food animal welfare.
