Just like in high school, Ms Colombini was an active member in student leadership throughout her years in college. Her sophomore year she an Ag Ambassador, as well as being a member of the Crops Club, Dairy Club, and a sorority. She kept herself the busiest during her senior year by leading the ASI organization as their president.

Ms. Colombini is excited to be a part of our FFA family and with helping out with all of our CDE teams and speaking events.
