Biography
Background
I am the Program Coordinator with the Minnesota Agricultural Education Leadership Council (MAELC), a government-appointed organization that advocates for and promotes agricultural education throughout Minnesota. Prior to working with MAELC, I served as a Legislative Assistant at the Minnesota Senate. While there, I worked primarily with rural members as well as the Senate Agriculture and Rural Economies Committee.
I grew up on a farm in Southern Minnesota and was active in FFA during high school and college. I attended the University of Minnesota-College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences, graduating with a degree in Agricultural and Food Business Management and a minor in Marketing. Agriculture has always been an important part of my life, and I am excited to be working within the agricultural education and policy industries in Minnesota.
