Alana Jade Colligan

The five-year plan is to be in a managerial position in a growth-oriented organization. I am willing to learn and most importantly be taught, provided the opportunity for personal growth is present. During Undergrad at Southern University I have maintained at least a 3.00 GPA, earning a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Sciences, with a concentration in Plant and Soil science, while balancing Aerial Silks, and MANNRS member of the National Society for Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences. In SU Ag I volunteered on numerous non-profit farm to school and community outreach programs. During my time at LSU I was a member of MWM (Minority Women’s Movement), a club for women of minorities who reach out to other women to help create and accepting, positive, and secure place for all women,I plan to further my education by pursuing my PhD at LSU studying Medicinal Plants, with an end goal of greenhouse and dispensary management specifically in the Cannabis industry, in addition to various Medicinal Plants, as well as, providing a permanent organic community garden & market to the North Baton Rouge district.
