Name: Charlotte Hansen
From: Falls Church, Virginia
Degree and institute where received: BS in Geography and a minor in Agricultural Economics, Virginia Tech, 2008
Currently working on MS in Agricultural Economics from the University of Kentucky

Charlotte Hansen chose to attend the University of Kentucky for her master’s degree due to a former advisor from Virginia Tech who once told her that she should apply to UK to focus her studies on the equine industry. Taking that advice to heart, she contacted Jill Stowe, PhD, director of UK Ag Equine Programs and associate professor of agriculture economics at UK, a few years ago with some general questions about focusing her studies in agricultural economics with an equine emphasis.

When the time was right, and after a few email conversations over the years, Hansen came to UK to pursue her degree in agricultural economics and said she believes this is the best decision she has ever made. Not only is she pursuing her degree and working with wonderful faculty, she is also able to experience the horse industry firsthand while working on an equine-oriented thesis.

“This is the breath of fresh air I needed to pursue my equine dreams,” Hansen said
