Hello Righetti FFA! I'm currently a senior, and although this is only my second year participating in the FFA, I am more than determined to get involved and serve as a leader for our chapter. In terms of activities, I have participated in multiple CDE's, like Poultry Evaluation and Parliamentary Procedure. This year. I'm hoping to participate in plenty more competitions, and hopefully get a top spot in one! Outside of the FFA I am usually participating in the RHS Ballet Folklorico and Marimba Band, as a dancer and musician. In my free time, I love practicing my hobbies of guitar and computer coding, or exploring new places with my family. I can't wait to meet and grow with you all in the upcoming year!
