Sydney L. Hickerson

Graduate Research Assistant
West Texas A&M University

My name is Sydney Hickerson, a thesis option graduate student at West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas. Originally from Austin, Texas I decided to attend WTAMU in 2014 on a women's soccer scholarship and majored in Animal Science/Pre-Vet for my undergraduate degree. I played all four years of soccer while attending college and I graduated in December of 2019 with this degree. After my final semester of soccer, I began working for a veterinarian in Canyon, Texas named Dr. Gregg Veneklasen who introduced me to the world of equine reproduction and cloning. After two years of working and learning with Dr. Veneklasen, I then decided to pursue a graduate degree in Animal Science at West Texas in May of 2020 where Dr. Tommy Perkins took me in as his graduate student. I anticipate to graduate with my masters degree in May of 2022 and am hoping to continue a career in reproduction.
