About the Author
My name is Danielle Cook. I am currently a
freshman student at the
University of Wisconsin - La Crosse,
studying with a major in Biomedical Science and a minor in
Spanish. I grew up in a small city in central Wisconsin. Although I spend most of my time doing work for
school, I enjoy other activities too, such as reading,
rollerblading, singing, spending time with friends, and volunteering at
my local Humane Society.
This website was a project for my
Organismal Biology class, under the instruction of
Drs. Tom Volk and Greg Sandland. I chose the
daffodil as my subject of interest for a variety of
reasons. First of all, I think daffodils are really
beautiful plants. They're very common in gardens,
and occasionally, I've grown them in my own garden
at home. While studying plants during my biology
class, angiosperms stood out to me as a unique
topic, and I decided that I wanted to learn more
about them.
You may be wondering what I want
to do with a future degree in Biomedical Science.
Ultimately, I aspire to become a small animals
veterinarian. My major passion in life is caring for
animals, and I've grown up with a pet rabbit, as
well as fish. Outside of my house, I've spent a lot
of time with other animals too. In my free time, I
like to volunteer at the Portage County Humane
Society, where I work with cats and dogs to
socialize them for their prospective homes. In high
school, I took several courses with focuses in
animal biology, including a small animals and
veterinary science preparation class. During this
class, I learned valuable skills like giving shots
and grooming, that I believe helped pique my
interest in the subject of veterinary science.
