Jade Stanton

My name is Jade Stanton and I have been a 4-H member since 2018 and a FFA member since 2017. I first got involved with FFA when my older sisters attended Braden River High School and got involved with the beef and dairy industry. Ever since then I have been an active member in my 4-H chapter, my FFA chapters and community since the 6th grade. My love and passion for FFA and animals have been the core to my hard work and dedication to the program. I want to be able to give back and inspire younger versions of myself to get involved and make a difference in their community, state and country.
