I’m able to do the real work here. I’m not just in the background listening. I’m in the meetings and I’m a part of it.

Working for a coop like CHS gave me that opportunity to get back to agronomy, which is something I'm passionate about. My internship created this connection between what I learned in the classroom and what I got to see out in the field. That was rewarding for me.

With my ag business degree, I've taken a lot of different courses about soil science, plant science and business classes. Within my internship, I've been able to apply all of those things -- working with the plants, going out to farms, talking to growers and doing soil and plant tissue samples. It really has entailed everything.

The best part of this internship has been feeling empowered by my team, mentors, and managers. They've encouraged me to challenge myself and set goals. Whatever I want to learn, they're there to help and teach me. It’s been awesome.

One of my goals for my internship was to better understand what aspect of finance I am most interested in. My team helped me reach that goal by allowing me to work on a variety of projects. Having a team that wants to see me succeed has motivated me to gain the skills necessary to achieve my career goals.
