She was selected as a top 4 finalist in the state. She then competed in a virtual discussion representing Glen Oaks and Michigan State University and was named the winner of that competition.

In March, Ryan will compete in the National Farm Bureau Federation’s Collegiate Young Farmers Discussion Meet representing the state of Michigan.
