FFA in the USA reporter
Lilia Mendez
Hello everyone, my name is Lilia Mendez-Paiz, I am currently a senior at Rome High School in Georgia. I am beyond excited to serve as my chapter Historian, and as the FFA In The USA Reporter. Outside of FFA I am involved in 4-H where I get to learn more about poultry. I love going shopping, and exploring new states. Of all the CDES/LDES I have competed in Poultry Science has been my favorite. After graduation I plan to major in Animal Science with a minor in public health.
