AgNet West Intern Allison Rosa

​AgNet West Radio Network in California is one of the recipients of an NAFB Foundation internship grant. College senior Allison Rosa is joining the team for the 2015 fall semester. Rosa grew up on a small, but popular, dairy farm in Hanford, CA, and is attending Fresno Pacific University and majoring in communications. “Agriculture has been a huge part of my life, not only through my family but also with my participation in FFA, 4-H, and serving as a Kings County Dairy Princess through the California Milk Advisory Board,” she said. “Along with my passion for the agricultural industry, I have an appreciation for news and media. After graduation, I plan on starting a career within the agricultural industry focusing on either radio or print media.” Rosa is working closely with AgNet West news director Sabrina Hill. “I’m excited to have Allison interning with us this semester,” Sabrina said. “She will be learning about what we do each day, gaining interviewing skills, coming along to events we cover and building skills to start a broadcast career. I’m also thankful for the internship grant and that Allison will be able to come with us to convention in November.” As part of the Internship Grant Program, The NAFB Foundation also provides interns the opportunity to attend to the NAFB annual convention in Kansas City to give internship grant recipients a fuller farm broadcasting experience. “Working for AgNet West is a new and exciting experience that is constantly providing me with learning opportunities through farm broadcasting,” Allison said.
