This organization allows the TAMUK campus and local community to take a journey into worlds they may have never known that are right outside their own door.

Lead Researcher and Public Relations Lead
I am a current student at Texas A&M- Kingsville. I am working on obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Range and Wildlife Management-Range Emphasis. Using what I learn from TAMUK, I want to go work for the Texas Parks.
Since I have always had a passion for animals of all kinds, I joined the FFA in high school. My proudest time of my high school years was when I was showing my lamb. I dedicated many long and tiring hours to see it pay off in the show rings. With the help of those closest to me, I was able to reach Grand Showmen and Grand Champion Lamb. This passion of dedication and the agricultural exposure drove me to choose my major and also partake in the collegiate FFA. I was able to reach the officer position of Treasurer with a touching speech that made my new organization laugh. Nervous as I was I still stood strong in front of a group of people I have never seen before.
My dedication and passion for wildlife drives me to help others expand in their own knowledge in the things I love. I have done this by assisting in clinics for lambs and volunteering at my local state park, Galveston Island State Park. I love what I do and hope that I can continue to share what I love with others.

I am currently a junior at Texas A&M University- Kingsville. I am majoring in Range and Wildlife Management with a Range emphasis. After I obtain my bachelor’s degree, I wish to work for Texas Parks and Wildlife as a park ranger.
I was five-years old when I was introduced to nature. My parents and I moved from the flat, dusty land of Lubbock, Texas, to the green country side of Kosse, Texas. After settling down in our new home, my parents decided that they wanted to raise cows. When I turned eight years old, I was able to partake in Limestone County 4-H. The most memorable moment in 4-H is when I received Grand Champion and Showmanship in the market goat division during my junior year in High School. I was first introduced to graphic designing by the Groesbeck High School Print Shop. I volunteered at the print shop during the summer of 2012. This job consisted of using the heat press to sublimate designs on merchandise, and to also help construct designs for shirts that needed to be screen printed.
I have always had an interest in animals, both wildlife and livestock. I wish to inform people what nature really means and to show what nature can do for us.

Texas A&M University-Kingsville sophomore. I am starting my Veterinary career. After I obtain my Veterinary degree, my intentions are to obtain a job in Texas Parks and Wildlife as a Veterinarian for wild animals.
As a youngster my dad introduced me to the nature. My dad owned a small ranch down in Mexico, where he had somewhere around 20 head of cattle and a couple of horses which he used to reining the cattle. He started teaching me how to horse back ride and how to manage cattle, as time went by I was able to take care of all the needs and all the work that had to be made in the ranch with the cattle. I was really content with my self because of the fact that at my young age I was able to now take care on my own of a now larger group of cattle, I took care of the management and the breeding. Later on my life my dad introduced me to the quarter horse industry where I started to administrate all the activities that were going around in my dads reproduction facility.
My passion for animals grows bigger as I spent more time with animals and in the wild, I wish I could do my best working with animals and informing people about there behavior.
