Barbara Briggs: Platinum Performer for Animal Sciences
Meet Barbara Briggs, the Animal Sciences Platinum Performer! We’re thrilled to share a glimpse into her life and passions for the great outdoors, connecting with incredible individuals, and a deep love for animals!
Whether it’s hitting the slopes, riding horses, or enjoying a game of volleyball or soccer, she’s always soaking up every moment outdoors with friends. And if there’s a chance for hiking or climbing, count her in!
One thing that truly lights Barbara up is making others smile and laugh. There’s nothing quite like the joy of seeing someone else happy because of a connection she’s made. Ger lifelong love of animals led her to pursue their dreams in Animal Sciences at Bridgerland Technical College, where she found their quick path to success.
Her ultimate goal? To own an animal refuge, providing a safe haven for creatures big and small. After graduation, she plans to dive into the world of animal care, starting with a job at a clinic where she can expand her skills and knowledge. Because life’s too short to not chase your passions every single day! Barbara feels like she owes a huge debt of gratitude to their dad, whose love for his work on the ranch inspired her to find a career that feels more like a favorite hobby. And let me tell you, trimming an owl’s talons and beak at Utah Zoo was an experience she’ll never forget!
