What influenced you to join FFA?

I joined FFA in 7th grade because I had an interest in plant science, and FFA was the place to explore it. As I became more involved in the organization, I developed additional interests in production agriculture and advocacy. FFA later led me to work on two dairy farms where I developed an even stronger appreciation for those who put food on our plates.

What inspired you to serve as a State Officer?

State officers have shaped my path in FFA and allowed me to see all that I can accomplish in the organization. Mishicot Had a State Officer in 2024, which allowed me to connect with that team, and understand deeper what it means to be a State Officer. Due to those Officers that impacted my journey, I decided to run.

What are your favorite FFA experiences?

FFA offered me many experiences through my 6 year journey at Mishicot, and I am grateful for the diverse spectrum of opportunities I was offered. My favorite experiences were competing in the Floriculture Career Development Event, attending the NextGen Environment and Natural Resources Conference in Salt Lake City, and Competing in the Discussion Meet Leadership Development Event.

What are your future plans?

I plan to attend UW-Platteville to major in Pre-Veterinary Large Animal Science, and later purse a Vet degree.

What is something members should know about you?

I enjoy working hard to serve members to my fullest, as well as the agricultural industry. FFA and agriculture have given me purpose to get out of bed and work to achieve my goals, and I hope that this year I will be able to serve each and every member of the Wisconsin Association.
