Seth Richardson, a recent Ohio State ATI graduate from Springfield, Ohio, who studied agricultural communication, is spending his summer in London, Ohio, as a marketing intern with Farm Science Review.
For Seth, the highlight of his internship has been learning to fly drones. “Flying a drone seemed really difficult at the beginning,” he said. “It’s a bit nerve-racking if you’ve never been around it. But the first day I flew with my supervisor, I knew I was all in. That moment gave me the confidence to pursue my license, and I’ve loved every second since.”
Through his work, Seth is gaining experience capturing video and photos of agricultural equipment—exactly what he hopes to do after completing his bachelor’s degree at the Columbus campus.
Seth’s path to this internship wasn’t linear. “I changed my major three times,” he said. “But ATI helped me realize that marketing was what I enjoyed most. The support I had on campus made all the difference.” Now, he’s found a major, and a career direction, that truly excites him.
This summer Seth has goals: to build his skills as a confident, creative drone operator and to earn his drone license. Whether it’s marketing agriculture events or flying his drone over fields, Seth is proving when you find your passion, the sky’s the limit.
