Katie Callero's journey into the world of animal science began with her early fascination with animals as a child. Katie then pursued higher education at Cornell University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Animal Science and a minor in Infectious Disease Biology, graduating with the distinction of cum laude.
After graduation, Katie worked as a lab manager for a dairy cow research lab housed in Cornell's vet school that focuses on transition cows. This experience sparked her interest in the world of research, and she decided to return to Cornell University to pursue her Master's of Science. Her thesis was focused on the behavior and welfare of cows and calves in relation to separation.
Katie is eager to connect with local producers and learn about their needs. She will be spending her first few months on the team visiting our region's farms and agribusinesses to learn more about the successes and needs, and how she might be able to help. She has been an incredible asset to the team already and will be another resource for the farmers in our region!
