This summer’s first In the Field Friday is Courtney Krieger from Wauseon, Ohio. She graduated from Ohio State ATI this past spring with an Associate of Science degree in Agribusiness. She will be transitioning to the Columbus campus this fall to continue onto a Bachelor’s degree.
This summer, she is interning with Nutrien Ag Solutions. For the internship, she works with other interns to monitor a field plot over the summer. Some of the tasks include soil and tissue sampling, deliveries, and building customer relationships.
Courtney’s advice for incoming students is simple. “Live in the moment,” said Kreiger. “We have seen this year how fast things can be taken, so enjoy your time in school and build as many memories as possible.”
Courtney also recommends internships and jobs throughout your college career. She believes that they help you immensely when it comes to networking within your desired industry.
Another aspect that she believes is important is getting involved and being active in your college career through clubs and organizations. “Creating relationships with your professors and peers will be a great step in building your future,” said Krieger. “And never forget – Go Bucks!”
