CTE Graduate Profile

Robbins Danielle

I am currently a senior attending U niversity of Illinois majoring in animal sciences with a focus in livestock production and management. I attended JJC for 2 years and transferred to UIUC as a junior I work as a herdsman/milker at the UIUC Dairy Cattle Research Unit and currently have an opportunity to earn a pro fessional research Masters degree where I would serve as the assistant manager on the farm full-time for 5 years and go to school part-time and come out with a Masters degree. If that plan doesn’t work out I plan on working as a herdsman for a dairy farm hopefully one day earning enough experience to become a manager.
