I joined FFA in 7th grade because I had a love for agriculture and wanted to improve my speaking skills. My brother was in FFA as well at the time, so my advisor also helped me get involved within our chapter. Ever since joining FFA has offered me many opportunities to help me grow.

What inspired you to serve as a State Officer?

Throughout my time in FFA I have always looked up to state officers for their leadership and excitement that they bring to the organization. This inspired me to take the skills that I have gained from FFA and use them so I can serve Wisconsin as a State Officer. I can’t wait to travel across the state and meet Wisconsin FFA members.

What are your favorite FFA experiences?

There are two experiences in FFA which I would have to say are my favorite. First off, is the Floriculture Career Development Event. From learning floral design in my horticulture class to working with our school-based enterprise, the agriculture classroom always smells so good because of the flowers. The other experience is being a part of the Wisconsin FFA Honors Chorus for 6 years where I always had fun performing and meeting members from across the state.

What are your future plans?

Currently I’m a junior at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls where I am majoring in Agricultural Education. My end goal is to return to Section 9 and be an agricultural educator and FFA advisor.

What is something members should know about you?

Members should know that I'm very caring and will always put my best foot forward for them. I am always ready to jump into the next adventure from trips across the world to Germany or even just across the state to Mackinac Island. I have had several experiences and will be driven to bring a wise outlook to the organization. I'm excited to bring my wisdom, kindness, and creative problem solving to the organization this year.
