An Ethics Code is crucial to me because it serves as a guiding framework that aligns my actions and decisions with my core values, ensuring integrity and transparency in all my endeavors. It fosters trust among the individuals I surround myself with, strengthens my commitment to ethical practices in agricultural communications, and reinforces my dedication to upholding the values that define the agricultural community. This code not only shapes my professional conduct but also reflects my personal values, allowing me to make meaningful contributions to the industry I am passionate about.

​Integrity

Integrity is at the heart of everything I do. It guides me to be honest, transparent, and ethical in all my communications and interactions, ensuring that I always uphold the highest standards of professionalism and trustworthiness.

​Respect

Growing up on a family farm has instilled in me a deep respect for agriculture and the hardworking farmers who feed and fuel our world. I honor their dedication, values, and contributions to our society every day.

​Authenticity

Authenticity is key in my approach to life. I am committed to telling genuine stories that accurately represent what I am describing and who I am. I strive to by authentically myself. 

Collaboration​

I believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork to achieve shared goals and make a positive impact in the agricultural community. Working together, we can create meaningful change and foster unity.

I will show myself and others compassion. Other people's lives are unpredictable. Showing compassion to others no matter the situation is something I will strive to do daily.
