Cargill High Plains- High Individual
Oklahoma Panhandle State University
I am originally from Pueblo, Colorado and currently a senior at Oklahoma Panhandle State University and will be graduating with a degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Livestock Production and Management in May of 2024. Outside of meat judging, I am a member of our Ag Leadership Council, Block and Bridle, and am the secretary for Women in Ag. Meat judging has influenced my passion for the meat industry that I have now. Meat judging has changed my life for the better in so many ways, and I am very grateful for the experiences I’ve had and friendships I’ve made.
