Rachel shares how her experiences in the classroom and through Georgia Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers &amp;amp; Ranchers program have shaped her approach to teaching and leadership. From starting floral design programs to broaden student engagement, to stepping away from the classroom for a year to represent educators statewide, she offers honest insights into what it means to “stay rooted in service.” You’ll also hear how she’s working to bridge communities and classrooms with a new statewide Day of Service, and why she believes every student deserves the chance to discover their passion through agriculture.
