Maura Barrera
Welcome! :)
I am Maura Barrera, Secretary of the SC Governor's School for Agriculture FFA Chapter, proudly representing the South Carolina FFA Association.
Originally born in Lebanon, Tennessee, I was raised in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, where I first got involved with FFA as a member of the local TR High School chapter. I'm proud to be an alumna of that community and excited to continue my FFA journey with this position!
