Deliberative, Futuristic, Relator, Adaptability, Individualization

My current hometown is Ellsworth, Kansas, but was born in Abilene, Texas and raised in Summerville, South Carolina. I am majoring in Agricultural Economics with a secondary major in Global Food Systems Leadership, a minor in Leadership Studies, and a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership. I would love to work in ag policy or teach at K-State. The strength I have used most at K-State has been Futuristic which helped me when I was unsure of my path forward as a student. This strength serves as a reminder to keep going, and for my Disney fans, "there is a great big, beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day!"
