During her time as the Agritourism Manager, Kelsey wrote numerous blogs and travel itineraries about the state's beloved Agritourism destinations.

She received her Bachelor’s degree from Fort Hays State University and her Master’s degree from Âé¶¹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø State University. 

Kelsey is passionate about the agriculture industry and lives for visiting agritourism operations throughout the state, having visited with producers and experienced the unique and diverse ways producers are using agriculture to bring joy and kinship to rural communities all over the state! Kelsey is an avid animal lover, especially of the cow and cat varieties, and is always looking for an opportunity to pet the next one. When not at work or spending time on the farm, her favorite pastime is hitting up Hobby Lobby and local antique stores and convincing herself she does, in fact, have room for one more decoration!
