WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART OF SERVING ON THE AJMAA JUNIOR BOARD? My favorite part of serving on the AJMAA board has been traveling to different parts of the country and meeting all the people who are part of the Maine-Anjou Industry. There are a lot of amazing people within this industry with awesome stories to tell.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
My family inspires me the most. My family is my biggest support system. I can always count on my parents and my sister to be there to help me with whatever it may be I am working on. They have made my Junior Board experience possible by picking up the slack when I am working for the board rather than at home or the stalls.
WHAT IS YOUR GOAL FOR THE JUNIOR BOARD THIS YEAR?
My goals for the junior board this year are to be able to work together and become as good of friends as we were with last year’s board. When we all know each other well and are close it makes working and traveling together that much more fun.
