I did not obtain my role as an FFA advisor through a traditional path. I attended South Dakota State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Science and Agricultural Leadership. I also came from a very small school that did not have an FFA program. Instead, I was heavily involved in 4-H, an organization that played a significant role in shaping who I am today. I have continued to stay active in my community by serving as a member of the local fair board.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to give back to the community that had such a meaningful impact on me as a young agriculturist. I am incredibly excited and honored to serve as the advisor for the Western Christian FFA chapter. Working with students who are passionate about serving others and committed to growing into the best versions of themselves is truly rewarding.
