“Hi! My name is Amani Hill and I am currently a junior, majoring in animal Science with a concentration in Equine and Production Animals, I joined the CCCF Agribusiness Scholars Program to deepen my understanding of the economic and business forces shaping agriculture today. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between animal production and agribusiness, and I’m particularly interested in pursuing a career with the USDA or Farm Credit East, where I can contribute to sustainable agricultural development and financial support systems for farmers. This program offers the ideal opportunity to build both the technical knowledge and leadership skills I’ll need to succeed in the evolving world of agribusiness.”
