Vinicius A. Cruz, Animal Scientist (B.S at UFRRJ - Brazil). During undergraduate, I got several opportunities to develop as a professional and as an aspiring researcher as I was granted a scholarship from Capes-Brazil to study abroad in the United States, learning about equine nutrition and management (North Dakota State University) and beef cattle nutrition and management (University of California - Davis). These experiences enlightened the way that I saw research and teaching which led me to start my academic career, pursuing my Master's degree in Animal Sciences (UFRRJ - Brazil). Once I finished my masters, I started my PhD program at Montana State University for the fall semester of 2021 and in 2024 I had the opportunity be transfered to finish my PhD at school of animal sciences of Virginia Tech.
