What is your chosen profession?
I am the Executive Director of the Minnesota FFA Association which has nearly 16,000 members. I am eager to guide and grow Minnesota FFA as well as support our state’s FFA Advisors.
What is your favorite part of this work with Teach Ag?
I realize the importance of Ag. Teacher Recruitment and Retention. There is a shortage of Ag. teachers so there are some programs each year that go unfilled. If the STAR committee and the Teach Ag initiative can help in any way, it is a win! We need Ag. Teachers and hope to inspire students to join the Ag. Ed. Family and change lives every day in their classrooms!
What’s your favorite AFNR pathway?
All Pathways are essential to Agriculture! I truly enjoy them all and love how students have different passions for the variety of pathways!
