During the 2023-2024 school year I served as the State President for the South Carolina FFA Association. In this role I led leadership and agricultural leadership workshops across the state for High School and Middle School FFA chapters. Along with these workshops I also led camps designed to educate young FFA members on the values of FFA, hard work, and agricultural advocacy. I along with my team of State FFA Officers have also traveled to the capitol building in Columbia as well as Washington D.C. where we meet with lawmakers and discussed legislation that would benefit farmers across the state and the nation. We also traveled to Indianapolis, IN where we attended the National FFA Convention and served on various committees that would improve the way the FFA members across the nation experienced the benefits of FFA. We also led the South Carolina FFA Convention geared towards SCFFA members and exposing them to industry experts in the state and gave them opportunities to showcase their amazing skills in competitions that they have learned through FFA. These are just a few of things that I have done while serving the State of Carolina as the SCFFA State President.
