WHAT DOES GRADUATING FROM NEBRASKA MEAN TO YOU?
Graduating from Nebraska means a lot to me by keeping my families legacy. I am a third-generation here at the university and have always pictured myself attending here.
INVOLVEMENTS:
I have participated in UCARE, Agronomy Club, and the Navigators during my time as a student.
PLANS AFTER GRADUATION:
I will be working in Monticello, IA as a Sales Representative for Midwest BioAg starting in January of 2022. I plan on attending grad school in the near future to obtain my master's in either Agronomy or Soil Science. I will be moving to Mechanicsville, IA as well.
After graduation, I am most looking forward to helping farmers and producers reach the full potential of their farms.
The best thing about being a Husker is learning what it means to be a family. Coming from out of state, I knew maybe 5 or so individuals from my hometown, so being welcomed into the university is something I will always be thankful for.
Thank you Martha Mamo and Gandura Abagandura for believing in me and entrusting me to help you with your research. You both pushed me to my best potential and I have learned a lot about my capabilities in the last year and a half. If it wasn't for you two, I am not sure what my story would pertain to and where I would like my future to lie.
