While in high school, Karlee participated in FFA, National Honor Society, dance, theater, individual speech, and the mentor mentee program. You can find Karlee with her camera in hand ready to take a photo, spending time with her friends, playing pickleball, advocating for the industry that she loves, and always laughing. She will attend Iowa State University to major in Agricultural Education, pursuing a career where she can share her passion and teach others about the industry that shaped her into who she is today. Karlee is incredibly excited to meet and interact with members across the state and help them find their "Why?".
