National: Navajo Nation, University of Arizona
Hello, My name is Ciara Benally. I am attending the University of Arizona as an Agricultural Engineer major in my first year. I am from Indian Wells AZ, and graduated from Holbrook High School. By becoming an Agricultural Engineer, I want to come back to the reservation and work with NRCS to reach more farmers or ranchers about the new implementation to improve their land. Just like their motto says, “Helping people help the land”. My passion for achieving this goal comes from how I was raised around animals and running a ranch. Then when I was around 5 I started showing livestock animals grew my love for animals and helping others.
