Hi! My name is Kinsley Kugel, and I was born and raised in the small town of Hebron, Nebraska. Growing up surrounded by agriculture, I developed a deep appreciation for the industry and especially enjoyed working alongside my family on the farm. I graduated from Thayer Central High School in 2022 and continued my education at Southeast Community College in Beatrice, where I earned an Associate of Applied Science degree with a focus in Agribusiness. In the spring of 2024, I transferred to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education. I will be student teaching at McCool Junction High School in the spring of 2026 and will graduate the same semester. I’m excited to begin my journey as an agricultural educator and look forward to inspiring and preparing the next generation of agriculturalists.
