About Me
Hello, I am Sarah Hoog, a recent graduate from The Ohio State University with a degree in Agriscience Education and minor in Production Agriculture. With a passion for agriculture and service to others, I strive to introduce myself to a variety of experiences and make a positive impact in everything I do. My “Why” in life is to have a positive impact on people’s lives as I serve them and help people learn about the wonderful lessons agriculture has to offer us all.
​
My introduction to design came from downloading Procreate and hand drawing sticker designs, then moving onto selling and marketing them through TikTok, and am continuing to learn how to use Adobe Suits and Canva to best suit my project needs. n addition, I often pair my eye for movement and framing in order to capture precious moments at the heart of the action. I am interested in learning all aspects of agriculture and want to push myself out of my comfort zone as much as possible to enhance my learning experiences.
