Through FFA I participate in Dairy Cattle Judging, leadership conferences, and speaking competitions! When I am not busy with FFA activities you can see me on the dance floor doing competitive Irish dance, hanging out with my cows at my family’s dairy, Gamlake Dairy, or drinking my fav coffee at Dutch Bros in Sonoma!

Natalie Victorine
Region Vice President at Large
Chapter: Dixon FFA
SAE's: Equine Science Placement, Beef Entrepreneurship
CDE's: Livestock Judging
Personal Message: Howdy y’all, its Natalie here and I am beyond grateful to serve the North Coast region this year! I am super stoked for this unique year and all of the new and creative ways we can adapt to change and EXCEED ALL LIMITS! I hold FFA near and dear to my heart, and some of my favorite experiences throughout my 4 years would have to be competing in the Prepared Public Speaking contest last year, attending and facilitating COLC, judging livestock all over the state, but most of all, getting to make lifelong friendships along the way! My current SAE’s are working at a miniature horse ranch cleaning stalls and taking care of horses, raising and selling market steers at my local fair, and expanding my personal herd of Angus cross cattle! Outside of FFA I am most likely listening to my favorite music artists on my record player, swimming laps or shooting goals at the pool, or keeping up with the latest shows on Netflix! To say I am excited for this year is an understatement, I am ecstatic to meet with y’all one way or another this year and create lifelong memories in this organization!

Claire Conard
Region Secretary
Chapter: Healdsburg FFA
SAE's: Raising Poultry, caring for chickens at my school farm, and working as a vet assistant at Township Animal Hospital
CDE's: Horse Judging
Personal Message: Hey guys! I’m Claire Conard, and this year I have the privilege of serving as a regional officer this year. I cant wait to get to know you all better and catch up on what you've been up to during quarantine. I know this year is unorthodox to put it lightly. It’s not how any of us would have wanted it to go, and the sadness and frustration you guys have is valid. But this year is giving us new opportunities too and our team wants to make sure we are here to support you all, inspire new activities, and create new leadership opportunities. In FFA, I love being able to compete in speaking contests, design my SAE projects and agriscience projects, compete in CDEs like Horse judging, and show animals at fair. More importantly than all of that, in FFA what I most love is leading and connecting with others. This region gave me so many opportunities and I am excited to give back. Hopefully I’ll meet you all soon, but until then I’ll give you the basics of my personality. I’m a crazy chicken lady, too clumsy for my own good (especially in heels), love reading, spend way too much time on school work, and am constantly drinking coffee!
