User Bio Howdy! I currently work for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension's Educational Development and Engagement team. I am also a PhD candidate in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications at Texas A&M studying advocacy and lobbying among agricultural nonprofits in Texas. I had a nontraditional path to the ag industry when my parents decided to return to our family's roots and move from the suburbs back to rural Texas when I started middle school. I joined FFA and was involved in many events including public speaking, ag issues, land judging, and showing market steers. Land judging led me to a degree in Agronomy and a master's in Horticulture at TAMU. I worked for Extension teaching a vocational horticulture program at a federal women's prison and later as a horticulturist at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Though I love having my hands in the soil, my true passion is teaching and helping others learn new skills. I love my role in Extension and how I get to connect producers with resources and experts so we can all grow and improve our beloved industry in Texas.
