What influenced you to join FFA?

Although my Mom is my advisor, I was not forced or expected to join FFA. It was completely on my own that I joined FFA. I joined FFA because it was the only group that supported the profession I wanted to go into. I have always wanted to go into agriculture and FFA provided that support and it had amazing leadership opportunities as well.

What inspired you to serve as a State Officer?

I was inspired to serve as a State Officer because FFA has given me so much and I just wanted to give back to the organization. I have been a part of many organizations in the past and in each group I have always made an effort to make them better. 

What are your favorite FFA experiences?

My favorite FFA experience is definitely WLC. It wasn’t necessarily the content and leadership workshops that made it so great, even though that part was important, but rather the people you met and the relationships you made that really made WLC a great experience. Other FFA experiences that I really enjoy are activities that involve teaching the public about agriculture like Food For America. Teaching others about agriculture is truly what I enjoy about FFA.

What are your future plans?

I plan to attend UW-River Falls for Agricultural Education. Teaching students about agriculture has been my dream since I was very young. I love helping others achieve their goals and agriculture is my passion.

What is something members should know about you?

I enjoy talking with anyone about anything. I love to listen to member’s stories and want to have a real meaningful conversation with them. Any conversations that include agriculture, FFA, music, and any funny story are my favorite conversations.
