Jazmin is from Uwharrie Charter Academy and joined agricultural education when she took Animal Science in her freshman year of high school. Throughout her time in the FFA, she competed in Introduction to Horticulture and Extemporaneous Public Speaking. One of her favorite parts about FFA was her Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), where she explored Agricultural Communications in serving as an FFA in the USA Reporter. In addition, she says that one of her favorite memories as an FFA member was getting to serve as a National Delegate and attending WLC. She will be attending NC State University in the fall, where she will be majoring in Environmental Engineering and Communications. Jazmin is very excited to serve the 48,000+ FFA members across the state of North Carolina.

Rachel Noble grew up on her family’s Christmas tree farm in eastern North Carolina, where her love for agriculture first took root. Through her SAE project, she developed the agritourism side of the farm, creating memorable experiences for families in her community. Rachel made the decision to become a part of the FFA when she was in middle school, but truly found her passion when she became an officer and member of the South Lenoir FFA Chapter. As a three-time Chapter President, former Federation and Regional President, and national speaking champion, Rachel has led with both passion and purpose. She has enjoyed competing in public speaking competitions, such as prepared and extemporaneous, as well as other CDE’s such as Farm Business Management, but she most enjoys mentoring others to help them succeed in their areas of interest. Rachel completed her associate’s degree while in high school and is now a Park Scholar at NC State, majoring in Agricultural Business Management. Outside of FFA, Rachel enjoys cross country, dance, and car karaoke- with a box of Goldfish always close by. She is honored to serve North Carolina FFA and looks forward to continuing her support of the agriculture industry and the farmers who make it possible for our country to thrive.

Lilly joined the Gray's Creek FFA chapter as a freshman through her agriscience applications class, having no idea of the limitless experiences and friendships that awaited her. She was originally intrigued with all the excitement of the association at her very first state event, MEGA Conference, her sophomore year. Since then, Lilly has looked for opportunities to grow and leave a positive impact on surrounding members in Gray's Creek, Cumberland County and beyond, serving as president of the South Central Region during her senior year. She has remained involved in agriculture through her SAE projects at a local horse farm, and veterinary office. She has also enjoyed gaining new skills through her CDE' and LDE's to include the Veterinary Science, Parliamentary Procedure, Truck Driving, and Ag Sales. Through FFA, Lilly has learned how to serve North Carolina and leave a legacy, celebrate the differences of all individuals, and find a passion for teaching. She is excited to continue a journey of growth, service, and building new connections with the diverse membership across the Old North State.

Eleanor joined the South Garner FFA Chapter after participating in the Tool Identification CDE. Eleanor’s first agriculture education class was Agriculture Applications.  Throughout her FFA journey, she participated in a wide variety of CDEs/LDEs, including Tool Identification, Agriculture Mechanics, Land Judging, Livestock Judging, Parliamentary Procedure, and Agriculture Education. However, her favorite CDE was Land Judging. Her Supervised Agriculture Experience Project was to serve as a teacher’s assistant for her agriculture mechanics class in high school. She taught five objectives in the curriculum and traveled to seven other agriculture mechanics programs to participate in job shadowings. Her other SAE was landscape management, where she does yard work for the Greek Village at North Carolina State University. Her leadership experiences involved several positions within her high school chapter, federation, and region. She is excited and honored to serve the over 48,000 members in North Carolina FFA with her teammates.

Josiah first became involved in Millbrook FFA after enrolling in Ms. Goblet's Animal Science 8 course. A non-native to North Carolina, Josiah was born in Connecticut. He moved to Raleigh when he was 9, and while growing up in Raleigh, agriculture wasn’t always familiar—but FFA quickly became a place of opportunity, growth, and connection. Encouraged by a strong chapter and inspired by passionate educators, Josiah’s journey in FFA has included a diverse range of experiences, from competing in Career Development Events like Poultry Judging, Meats Evaluation, and Agricultural Communications to serving as a chapter, federation, and now state-level leader. His favorite CDE is Prepared Public Speaking, where he’s found a voice in advocating for agricultural education and the future of our industry. His Supervised Agricultural Experience includes work in nursery operations and diversified agriculture, allowing him to explore plant and animal systems while developing real-world skills. Josiah is currently a freshman at NC State University, majoring in Agricultural Education with a concentration in Biological and Agricultural Engineering. He plans to pursue a career as an agricultural educator to inspire and empower the next generation, and to show others that FFA truly is for all. He is honored to serve as a State FFA Officer for 2025-2026, and looks forward to a year of service, growth, and impact alongside his fellow North Carolina FFA members.
