We want to take a moment to congratulate one of our Student Employees 🎓!

Brielle Elliott graduated from Florida A&M University with a degree in Agribusiness and a concentration in Economics. A USDA 1890 Scholar, Career Peer Educator, and student leader, Brielle is passionate about agricultural literacy, sustainability, and innovation - particularly in food systems. Some of her most meaningful experiences came through opportunities that expanded her worldview, including international agricultural service-learning in Kenya, innovation work as a University Innovation Fellow at Stanford University, and independent research on consumer behavior and sustainable agriculture. Each of these experiences, and many others, challenged Brielle to think critically about community impact and the role young professionals can play in building a more sustainable and equitable future. After graduation, Brielle looks forward to continuing such work at the intersection of agriculture, literacy, sustainability, and innovation.

We are so proud of you🧡💚!
