Student Teacher

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to introduce myself, my name is Christina Fister. I am a senior at Montana State University studying Agricultural Education. I will be graduating in May with a Bachelors in Ag Education and a two year Associates of Science degree. My home town is Kalispell, MT and I love anything and everything agriculture. I grew up riding horses, farming and doing custom leather work with my grandpa.

In high school I was heavily involved in the agriculture classroom as well as in FFA. You could find me as a chapter officer, member of every community service committee there was and on the sales and agronomy teams. Agricultural education was my everything and it just seemed perfect to make a career out of it. This wouldn't have been possible without a lot of guidance from my ag teacher Mr. Bay. I hope to be able to help your students in finding their passions just as my ag teacher did for me.

Needless to say agriculture has always been a passion of mine and I am so excited to share that with you and your students. Hope to meet you all and have a great second semester.
