Name: Katelyn Allen School: Virginia Tech Major: Dairy Science Minor: Communications Classification: Junior

What are your career aspirations? After graduation, I hope to work to connect farmers and consumers via an Ag literacy program like Ag in the Classroom. I would like to eventually return to my family’s dairy farm in Maryland to manage the operation and use that as a platform for bringing the public to see where their food comes from.

Why did you join AAEA? I joined AAEA because I was interested in the internship opportunities available to members and would like to learn more about what Ag Communications looks like all over the country!
