Leah Welk is a senior double-majoring in Agricultural Science and Public Relations with double minors in Leadership Development and Digital Media Trends and Analytics. She is a part of the fifth generation on her family's farm in Lancaster County, PA. Outside of her classes and time with Ag Advocates, she is involved in Block and Bridle and an Ambassador for Agriculture Future of America (AFA). Her hobbies also include graphic design, attending livestock shows, reading, and spending time with her sweet niece and nephew. Leah loves spending time at Penn State football games in the fall and hockey games in the winter. 

After her time at Penn State is over in 2023, Leah is looking to work in the agriculture communications or marketing space. Whether working at an agency or in-house at a corporation, she wants to further bridge the gaps between consumers, producers, and companies through social media, public relations, and communication strategies.

She also is always up for a trip to the Berkey Creamery to get some Bittersweet Mint ice cream.
