the Horticulture Scholarship Program

After graduating from Dayton High School, she plans to attend OSU and major in Agricultural Business and Food Management. She would like to work as a representative or project manager for the Oregon Department of Agriculture. She has participated in many activities and has served as the Dayton chapter FFA president. She volunteers in the FFA greenhouse every spring. She also volunteers in the summer helping younger students work with their livestock projects.

This is her third scholarship. She graduated from McMinnville High School and currently attends Eastern Oregon University. Her major is Agricultural Entrepreneurship and her minor is Communications. She has been able to go on field trips this last year including two days in Salem learning about agriculture policies, meeting senators and lobbyists, and sitting in on House of Representative hearings. This summer she expects to do multiple short job shadows with companies of interest to help her narrow down her career plans after graduation.
