Who is the most influential person in your life?
“The most influential person in my life is my sister, Olivia, because she started me in agriculture. I wanted to be with her and compete against her. She’s my role model and now on the U of A livestock judging team.
What is your current involvement in agriculture?
“This year I was the Carroll County Cattlemen’s Association Princess so I go all over representing them. I also got second runner-up for the state title. I work with cattle, chickens and goats. I have a show string of cattle and I judge both poultry and livestock as well as participate in quiz bowl. I like being in the Green Forest FFA and was secretary last year and hope to be president.”
What is your favorite agricultural memory?
“When I was 12, I competed in a beauty review. I came home and had to immediately help birthing pigs, makeup and all.”
Awards: “In 2011, I was the Junior Cattlemen’s Junior Showman of the Year. I also won my Simmental/Angus division at the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo.”
Future Plans: “Right now I want to be an x-ray technician, but I also want to have a show herd so I can continue competing.”
