Laiken Wilcox, Author at National FFA Organization

I am currently a Senior at Lumberton Senior High School from the great state of North Carolina! I am currently serving as this year’s Lumberton FFA Chapter President as well as the South Central Regional President! I served as my Chapter’s Reporter two years ago which initially sparked my interest in advocating for agriculture and FFA events. I am beyond excited to be serving our amazing organization as an FFA in the USA Reporter this year!
