Katie Moulton

Fun fact

I have raised show rabbits since I was 12. There are over 50 breeds, but the one I specialize in is mini rex. They are characterized by their short fur that feels like velvet. I have always been super intrigued by the genetic factors that make up different colors in my breed and how to get specific genes to show. Currently I am working on a project to create a new color using a different breed and thus a different genetic code.

What are you most excited about?

While I am super excited for the whole thing, I am particularly excited about the opportunity this gives me to grow and learn from doing. I can’t wait to start interacting with new people and learn more specifics about business.
