About Angel Rivas

Aspiring Agricultural Policy Leader | Double Major in International Affairs & Environmental Science at Kennesaw State University With a passion for agriculture and a vision for sustainable development, I am dedicated to shaping policies that drive positive change in rural communities and the agricultural sector. As a double major in B.A. International Affairs and B.S. Environmental Science at Kennesaw State University, I am equipping myself with a comprehensive understanding of global political dynamics and environmental stewardship.My journey in agricultural policy advocacy began with the Georgia FFA Association, where I had the privilege to represent over 81,500 students. In this role, I facilitated workshops, participated in panel discussions, and engaged with key stakeholders to promote awareness of agricultural issues and opportunities. My commitment to rural development, agricultural education funding, and sustainability has been the cornerstone of my advocacy efforts, including meetings with elected officials, industry leaders, and stakeholders.Complementing my policy advocacy experience, my time at Culver's honed my skills in customer service excellence, multitasking, and maintaining high standards under pressure. These experiences have shaped me into a well-rounded individual capable of addressing complex challenges with empathy and attentiveness.As I continue my academic journey at Kennesaw State University, I am eager to leverage my knowledge and experiences to drive impactful policies and initiatives that foster sustainable agricultural practices and enhance rural livelihoods.
