Camille Murray is a student at the University of California, Davis, majoring in Animal Science and Management with a specialization in livestock production, and minoring in Professional Writing. Outside of the classroom, her passion for livestock agriculture led her to seek out opportunities working with animals throughout her academic career, from volunteering at the Dickinson College student farm in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to milking sheep and running market stands for a small, sustainable farm in Watsonville, California. 

Her work assisting with births and feeding goat kids at the UC Davis goat barn reinforced her interest in animal husbandry. A memorable experience was artificially inseminating a goat and helping deliver and raise that goat's kids later that year. She gained valuable veterinary experience as a clinic intern in Cayo, Belize, conducting spay and neuter surgeries on cats and dogs and other veterinary procedures on livestock. Her summer job milking sheep and selling cheese at farmers markets immersed her in a sustainable farming operation. 

Camille has always enjoyed storytelling and communicating through writing and has sharpened her scientific and journalistic communication skills through her professional writing minor and her work at the CLEAR Center. It is meaningful to her to share the importance of her work in the livestock industry as it relates to renewable energy and the climate crisis. Her writing is focused on research and education around sustainability in the livestock industry, especially mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
