Summary

I am a student currently enrolled at Lake Land College. I am a part of the Livestock Judging team, and I have grown up in the show ring. I discovered my passion for showing livestock at a very young age, and I let that be my motivation over the years. Showing pigs and sheep has been a huge part of my life, spending countless hours in the barn, on the road, and at shows. Outside of showing livestock, I find joy in babysitting, taking photos, and working with young kids. I have been babysitting for many years, and I have developed close relationships with families that I would consider my own. Photography has allowed me to be creative and learn as I go. I am always open to learning new things and improving my skills in everything that I do.
