Grazing Management Outreach and Research Coordinator
Anna graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Human Dimensions of Natural Resources. After graduating, she worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service on the Central Plains Experimental Range as a research technician for a year and half. Growing up in The Sandhills of Nebraska on two 5th-generation ranches, she associates strongly with both producers and agricultural research. Anna will be serving as the Grazing Management Outreach and Research Coordinator for AgNext and feels that connection to the whole system – from the producer to the end consumer and all the people in between – is how we will continue to improve sustainable agricultural production and make lasting progress.
In her free time, Anna enjoys spending time outside with her dogs Dolly and Stevie and partner Kai as well as skiing, running, cooking and keeping up with the ranches in Nebraska. She is also involved in various leadership and agriculture groups.
