Summary

I am driven as a student leader with a strong background in agriculture, youth mentorship, and hands‑on livestock experience. I plan to attend Texas Tech University to study Animal Science and continue on to veterinary school. My leadership roles in FFA, CTE District Ambassadors, and youth ministry have taught me responsibility, communication, and how to work hard for the goals I care about. I’m committed to building a future in animal care and using my education to make a real impact in my community.
