Um, so give us a brief history about you, your background, and your path to get to this.

Well, I've grown up in the ag and animal health world ever since I was young.

I started working at a vet clinic throughout high school thinking I wanted to be a veterinarian, worked all through college at the vet clinics, and I learned so much while I was there.

But I went to Purdue University and, uh, wanted to, uh, start out in the animal sciences area, and received my bachelor's degree there.

Stayed on, received my master's in breeding and genetics and fell in love with that.

I didn't walk into college knowing I was gonna do that, but just absolutely fell in love with it, uh, and kind of bowed out of that veterinary medicine race, so to speak.

Um, uh, when I got out of there, I started working for Elanco Animal Health for about 17 years, and, uh, worked across the company, clinical research, regulatory, commercial, um, and sometimes actually sitting across the table with folks like myself that were trying to bring in external, uh, technologies, and so we would assess those with the executive leadership team.

Um, so if you're looking out three to five years, uh, what, you know, um, what's your vision? What's your goal for Verility?

That was a really, really great experience.
