July 30, 2025Supervised Agricultural Experience:
My Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) is a cow-calf entrepreneurship project based on my family’s third-generation cattle operation. I currently have 12 head of sim-angus cattle. Through this project, I’ve gained valuable experience in livestock management, financial planning, and agricultural sustainability.
Career Development Events:
I have had the opportunity to compete in events such as Veterinary Science and Livestock Judging. While competing in the Vet Science competition I’ve advanced to the state level three years in a row. This past year my livestock judging team placed second at our district contest and second place at state level from the South District.
Major FFA Accomplishments:
Some of my proudest accomplishments in FFA include being elected as a state officer and also serving as the South District President and Reporter.

The Bible! I love reading the Bible and spending time growing my faith.
Favorite Movie:

Favorite Meal:
A good old fashion burger!!
Favorite Quote:
One of my favorite quotes is: “A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.” – Rosalynn Carter. This quote motivates me daily to be a better leader for those around me.
Favorite Song:
My go-to song is Come Jesus Come by CeCe Winans and Cody Johnson — it never gets old!
Favorite thing about FFA:
What I love most about FFA is the blessing of getting to travel and meet members who share a passion for agriculture and leadership.
Favorite FFA Memory:
One of my most cherished FFA memories is attending the State Officer Summit in Washington, D.C., where I got to connect with members from across the nation and grow alongside my teammates.
College Plans:
I plan to attend Enterprise State Community College (ESCC) for two year and then transfer to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) to pursue a degree in animal science to become a large animal vet tech.
