Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path is to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree and teach agricultural classes at a local high school. While teaching, I plan to study for my Master's Degree and eventually return for Graduate School. After Graduate School, I hope to be an Agricultural Education professor and teach other college students how to become an Agricultural Educator and Vocational Leader.

Graduate school interests

I have future Grad School interests in agriculture. Research, presentations, and innovating ideas are three aspect of Grad school that have always interested me. I hope to get a Doctorate in Agricultural Education or Vocational Education so that I can become an Agricultural Education professor at a University with agriculture, such as North Carolina State University.

Outside the classroom

Some of my hobbies include riding horses, training horses, giving lessons to people of all ages, competing in professional rodeo, playing softball, attending church events, community service activities, and teaching people. A hobby of mine during high school was FFA. I was President of my FFA my senior year and competed in 5 different FFA competitions. Some past, future, and present hobbies of mine are community service and education. These have and always will be important in my life.
