I’m honored and humbled to be recognized in the #COWGIRL30Under30 Class of 2022.
I have an agricultural communications degree.
I have an agricultural communications degree and I capture behind-the-scenes content with my iPhone — everywhere from the Winner’s Circle to the warm-up pen.
I have an agricultural communications degree and I manage agvocacy, livestock marketing and equine social media accounts for a living…
Even with my past event coverage experiences highlighted on my résumé — never did I ever think I’d be on the dirt watching the National Finals Rodeo, let alone working at it. The 10 days I spent covering NFR 2020 is what I tell people was simply the coolest experience ever.
I work in a digital role and I don't often get to physically touch hard copies of work. Content is planned, Tweets are tweeted, and designs are created with computer brushes — and it all lives online.

Yep, I graduated with an agricultural communications degree, and no that didn’t give me the ability to talk to plants or cows (but let’s be honest that would be pretty freaking cool) but instead gave me the tools to reach both ag and non-ag audiences. With my degree, I believe I have a unique a perspective because I can speak to both sides — the consumers and the producers. Hailing from the city has given me the opportunity to be versed, and candidly, the credibility to be able to pitch and understand the average consumer’s mindset because I can see through both lenses.
Look, the internet isn’t going away anytime soon. It can be anxiety-inducing, thinking about all the additional work an online presence can require — but does it have to be? By doing a little planning and putting these 3 tips into play for taking your agricultural biz online, it’ll be done (and manageable!) in no time.
Yesterday I did something so scary and so out of character: I went on camera on my IG stories and talked about Meatless Meat, The Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat et al.
We’re well into May and it’s officially Beef Month! When you marry a cattleman, you definitely celebrate.
Freelancer.
I think hearing that word for some people makes their skin crawl, to others, they feel a rush of pity, like being a freelancer is a bad thing. There’s a funky stereotype around the word, and I’m not sure why.
