How did Southwest Tech prepare you for your current position? It has prepared me in knowing a lot of the basic procedures in doing various things in the ag field and I’ll be able to apply them at my new job.
Why did you choose your field of study? I chose to come into this field because I grew up on a farm and wanted to be able to go back to the farm and be able to help out and repair some of the equipment.
What advice would you have for other students thinking about advancing their education? Southwest Tech is a good choice in schools because you are able to be really hands-on and learn a lot more than a four-year school.
