Summary
Since 2010, I have been on a mission to educate others about the importance of agriculture, both in and out of the classroom. As a teacher, I have received local, state, and national recognition; however, I believe self-improvement is a constant necessity. I currently seek employment which fully utilizes and further develops my diverse experience in and enthusiasm for promoting all things agriculture.
