"I joined the Federation in November 2023 as a Field Accountant. I genuinely enjoy my role here, helping our members adopt and maintain effective record-keeping practices for their operations. In addition to my work with the Federation, I raise cattle in Central Texas, managing the daily operations of my family ranch. This hands-on experience allows me to connect with our members on a personal level, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their success."
