My name is Faye Boutin-Hecktor, and I live near Carbon, Alberta. My journey in agriculture began in the office of Y Not Goats, where I initially worked as the office secretary. There, I discovered a deep passion for agriculture, particularly in soil and plant health.

Determined to turn this passion into a career, I pursued a diploma from Olds College. While my time at the college was invaluable, I found myself eager to learn more about the intricacies of agronomy. To supplement my education, I embarked on a self-directed learning path and began working towards my Bachelor of Science degree.

I am currently practicing as an Agronomist in Training, a role I will embrace for the next two years as I hone my skills and knowledge. I am excited about the future and committed to making meaningful contributions to the field of agriculture.
