From Ames, Nebraska
I am a strongly driven, passionate, and dedicated person.
Where it all began: I grew up on a farm outside of Fremont, NE where I learned how to work hard, be dedicated to something important, and communicate. These are all things that are instilled to me as I learned what it takes to work hard and to do it for a good reason. I grew up working in agriculture at a young age where I felt a deep connection that has helped lead me to where I am today.
Where I am today: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education and a minor in Agronomy on August 13th, 2016 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am currently employed with Cuming County Extension in West Point, NE as their Agriculture Extension Assistant.
My time spent in agricultural organizations such as 4-H and FFA have helped me to build my knowledge, my public speaking, and my communication skills with professionals in today's industry. I am dedicated to giving back to the industry that provided me with a future.
