| Rea Ianson 2014 Teach Ag! Avenger |
The Teach Ag Avenger we are shining the spotlight on this
month is Rea Ianson! Rea (@rnianson08) is a perfect example of a small town
girl with big time dreams. She grew up on her family’s maple farm in
Coudersport, PA where she has helped every year with the syrup production along
with the beef cattle her family raises.
While attending Coudersport Jr. Sr. High School, Rea was
involved in many things but nothing stole her heart as much as FFA. She was an
active member and officer in the Spud Growers FFA Chapter. Her love for her
family’s farm and her experiences in FFA began Rea’s journey in the agriculture
industry. Along with being an AEE major, her time as an avenger have reassured
Rea that Agriculture Education is the right path for her!
Rea’s favorite part of being an avenger is getting to
promote something she is very passionate about and help others realize the infinite
possibilities in agriculture. She also stated “I love the connections I have
been able to make through this experience. I have met amazing leaders in FFA,
incredible agriculture educators and students who are going to create a great
future for this major!”

Along with the connections she has made with people in the
public, Rea, a 2015 student teacher, values the relationships she has made with the other avengers
throughout this year so far. “It’s great to go through this experience with
other AEE students, we really have become like a family!”
Rea has participated in numerous events as an avenger and
says the skills she is learning will benefit her future in so many ways. “I’m
learning public speaking skills, communication skills and professional
development all while recruiting and promoting this major!”
Rea’s future plans include becoming the best agriculture
educator and FFA advisor she can be, raise a family of her own and living on
her own maple farm!
