Bio
This is my 3rd year as Flasher's Ag teacher/FFA Advisor. I graduated from high school in 2018 and continued my education at North Dakota State University (NDSU), where I majored in Agricultural Education with a minor in Agribusiness and Extension Education. While at NDSU, I actively participated in various clubs, including the NDSU Saddle and Sirloin and Ag Ed Society, while also working at the NDSU Meat Lab for three and a half years. For my student teaching, I had the privilege of working under Mr. Lane Moellenkamp at Fessenden-Bowdon. My family operates a commercial sheep flock and runs a horse boarding business. I have been showing livestock through FFA and 4-H for 13 years. I am excited to serve as the advisor for Flasher FFA this year. Throughout my involvement in FFA, I have competed in numerous events and held various positions within my local chapter. With a family background in agricultural education, including parents who are Ag teachers in North Dakota and many relatives involved in the education system nationwide, I look forward to a fantastic year ahead.
