About Me
I have spent my entire life in the agriculture industry, working on my family's farm and in my family's two agricultural businesses. I am an alumni of South Central College, graduating with my Associate of Arts in spring 2021. I am currently a student at South Dakota State University studying Agricultural Communications.
​
I have been a member of 4-H for fourteen years. I show dairy, beef, and dogs. I also complete other projects. I have found success in the Minnesota 4-H Science of Agriculture Project, placing third in 2019 with my team's project Wireless Warriors and placing first in 2020 with my project Beyond the Farm. Because of my experience in the Minnesota 4-H Science of Agriculture Project, I was invited to attend the 2019, 2020, and 2021 National 4-H Youth Summits on Agri-Science.
​
I have other experience in communications and digital media through my project Beyond the Farm, as a team captain of the MN Ag Digital Media Team, through the College Aggies Online Program and more. I have gained valuable experience through my internships with Minnesota 4-H and the Animal Agriculture Alliance.
