Simply put, Kendall adores agriculture. Add in project management, and she’s in her element. Whether reviewing media schedules, creating timelines, or pumping up the team to tackle a challenging task at hand, Kendall does it all with a smile. She also typically has a few jokes in her back pocket too.

Kendall grew up in 4-H and fell in love with agriculture and the people in it at a young age. While she and her husband are not currently on the family farm, she stays active in the industry through her family’s retail beef business, participating in Farm Bureau events and gardening. Her previous work experience includes educating Chicago youth and teachers about Illinois agriculture, promoting and educating farmers on improved soybean management tools, and supporting sales teams through social media and media relations.

When not managing projects, Kendall is busy crossing books off her reading list and planning her next international backpacking trip(s). Want some good stories? Ask Kendall about her travel companion Bathilda.
