What influenced you to join FFA?

I joined FFA because I knew I always wanted to be a veterinarian. When I learned that FFA could help broaden my horizons as well as help me learn more about my passion for animals, I knew it was the place for me. 

What inspired you to serve as a State Officer?

I wanted to serve as a state officer to challenge myself as well as to inspire members to get involved. FFA has helped mold me into the person I am today and I want to share my story so that others can find their place too. Being an FFA member has allowed me to grow as a person, and a leader, so I hope I can inspire members to find their passion because they are the future of agriculture. 

What are your favorite FFA experiences?

My favorite part of being in FFA was the opportunity to serve my community. I was able to create a couple service projects as a chapter officer to meet the needs of my community. Being able to help others and watch their faces light up was the best feeling and an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything. 

What are your future plans?

I want to become a large animal veterinarian as well as become a mother and have a family. Both family and work are very important to me. My future career goal is to start my own practice or freelance between farms. I also have a dream of becoming a specialist in poultry or in radiology with my doctorate in veterinary medicine. As for my future family, I hope to adopt or foster children in need of a home as well as have children on my own. On the other hand, I also would like to foster or adopt older animals from shelters and help them to live out the last years of their lives being loved and cared for on a hobby farm. 

What is something members should know about you?

I am a huge chicken lover. The more poultry talks the better. Don’t even get me started on how cute they are.
