What Qualifies Me. . .

Why I Started

       Finding your passion can be a hard road, especially when it's within a difficult area of life, to begin with. I wasn't born into an agricultural family, but two hard-working people who set their differences aside to help raise me. It can be easy to gloss over the fact that I had around ten schools on my high school and college transcripts, how I had to handle adversity when it came to my appearance, or the fact that I live with a chronic illness. 

​

       With a mix of animal science, equine management, agribusiness, an immersive farming internship with GrowinG, and agricultural communications I have had a well-rounded mix of experience and learning within the College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources. Also with a beginning in riding and working horses for an established trainer at the age of six and making the switch to practical western riding in high school, I've had the necessary skills and equipment to work efficiently in many fields of this world. Getting a crash course in more than one avenue of Ag has set me up to have a mass of info and input to offer and discuss. I can't wait to get this off the ground with you and all you could tell about it, to get this issue and world more regularly known in U.S. media and conversations!
