Once I graduate, I will seek out a job as a marketing specialist at an agricultural firm in which I can apply my knowledge, utilize my gifts, and enjoy what I do. I have always had a passion for
to understand this strong connection to the land that farmers have. Growing up on a family farm has taught me about hard work, determination, and perseverance. I want to educate people that it takes all these characteristics to work in agriculture. I have been involved in FFA all four years of high school and have learned how to share my views to the public. Agricultural Communication will help me reach consumers and help them understand the risks, challenges and pride that farmers have in producing food for the world.

After earning my Bachelor of Science degree, I plan to return to California to pursue a career in agricultural sales or marketing. I love knowing where and how our food is grown and want to promote the importance of California farmers. A misconception of some consumers today is farmers waste resources and produce unhealthy food with use of pesticides and chemicals. Expanding on the marketing of our products domestically and internationally and educating those consumers on the benefits California grown products provide, will not only strengthen the California farmer but also help feed the world with high quality nutritional commodities.

I aspire to work as a journalist for a publication in the San Joaquin Valley, bringing the stories of agriculturists to the less informed. While pursuing a Spanish minor, I also hope to study
abroad in a Spanish-speaking country, where I can further develop an appreciation for other cultures. Being bilingual will prove relevant as a correspondent because of the high demographic of Latinos in America, and the popularity of the Spanish language worldwide. My reporting of agricultural pursuits in the Valley will ensure that farmers, laborers, and consumers will have their voices and concerns addressed.
