What is your story?
I'm passionate about the cattle industry, leadership, and ag policy. My study of focus is agricultural policy; I want to be an advocate for the cattle industry. Besides an interest in the political realm, I have big ideas and lots of energy for them. I enjoy starting entrepreneurial endeavors and running with them. My goal is to combine my interests and passions into a fulfilling and sustaining career.

One of my personal struggles is finding a passion to stick with. I enjoy starting new things, but I'm always looking to the next thing or idea. I can't pick one passion.
