"We are pleased to welcome Leticia to the Alltech Dairy On-Farm Support team as her knowledge and experience will be a great asset, providing added value to our customers and dairy workers, and strengthening our commitment to excellence," said Jorge Delgado, Alltech on-farm dairy training, talent development and retention program specialist. "The Alltech On-Farm Support team is expanding as we see the need to help our customers with one of the main challenges this industry faces day-to-day, which is employee training, motivation and retention." Originally from Brazil, Souza earned her bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine before moving to the United States. In 2019, she joined the University of Minnesota's MAST trainee program, spending one year at Lazy J Dairy Farm in South Dakota. The following year, she worked as a research assistant at the University of Minnesota, assisting with projects that involved collecting and analyzing data on bacterial infections in dairy farms. In 2023, Souza earned a master's degree in veterinary medicine at Michigan State University. After completing her degree, she worked as a research technologist, conducting both laboratory and field research. Her work primarily focused on studying mastitis and antimicrobial stewardship in dairy cattle, as well as managing and analyzing data for research projects and training undergraduate students. Souza holds numerous certifications and has several publications to her credit -- in the Journal of Dairy Science and JDS Communications, among others -- and she has presented at symposiums. She also participated in chapters of Herd Health in Beef Livestock, published in 2018. Born in Itabira, Minas Gerais, Brazil, Souza now lives in Jackson, Michigan. She enjoys exploring the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and experiencing new cultures.
