I'm fortunate to be part of a department that's continually growing in size and stature. It's exciting for me. The administration encourages us to grow with it and take on new responsibilities. Also I've maintained a lot of friendships with people who have graduated and are all over the country. One of the best things about the job is we're doing something to help people.
Food is very international.
We help our own farmers as well as farmers throughout the world. I'm lucky to be involved with the best and brightest and can help in my small way. It's a satisfying way for me to spend my life.
