SAE(s): My Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) consists of me working at a local apple orchard — which I have done for the last four years from August to October. The orchard is a small, family- owned orchard called Stribling Orchard. I have done a wide range of jobs over the years, including: working at a register, handing out bags and maps to customers, and making pastries in the bakery. In the past two years, I have been given more responsibility when it comes to training new employees and running the bakery when my boss was gone.
Favorite CDE/LDE: My favorite Leadership Development Event (LDE) is extemporaneous public speaking, which I’ve competed in for the last couple of years and competed in at the state level twice. On the other hand, my favorite CDE is the agricultural research poster competition, which I’ve competed in for all four years of high school!
Favorite FFA Memory: My favorite FFA memory is from National Convention this past year at the Megan Maroney concert. I’ve only had the opportunity to go to National Convention once, and overall, it was a life- changing experience. This experience in particular was really important to me because I not only got closer to the other officers from my chapter, but I also met people from all over the country and bonded in our common interest. This showed me the connections that FFA can help you make.
Future Plans: After my year as a State Officer, I plan to attend the University of Virginia to study aerospace engineering, with the goal of building a career as an Aerospace engineer!
