Hello everyone!

My name is Alexandra Garcia! 

​

I am an Agriculture Education major with a strong commitment to helping future generations connect with the agricultural industry. My academic path and hands-on experience have shaped my passion for teaching, community engagement, and advancing agricultural literacy. I plan to continue this journey by becoming an Agriculture Education professor, where I can guide students, support emerging educators, and contribute to the growth of the field.

​

Throughout my involvement in agriculture, I’ve built a foundation in horticulture sales, leadership, and organizational management. I have held leadership roles such as FFA Chapter President and Horticulture Club Secretary, and I’ve contributed to meaningful initiatives including the Growing Kindness project, Adopt-a-Highway, FTCC Plant Sales and the Hurley Pot Committee. My background also includes experience as a FTCC Horticulture Plant Sales Associate and my previous participation in livestock showing, particularly goats.

​

My dedication to the agricultural community has been recognized through several honors, including earning the Old North State FFA Degree, receiving the 2023 DEKALB Agricultural Accomplishment Award, and being selected as a scholarship recipient by both the NC Association of Agricultural Fairs and the National FFA Organization.

​

This portfolio highlights my growth, accomplishments, and ongoing commitment to agricultural education. I hope it provides a clear picture of the educator and professional I strive to become.
