Hi, my name is Jade Artzer.  It is my second year as an intern.  Last year, I worked in my community, completing a survey, and helping to plan a community event.  This year, I will experience a remote internship entering data about the limestone rock of Kansas.  

I am from Goodland, Kansas.   I recently graduated from Goodland Jr.-Sr. High School.  This fall, I am attending Fort Hays State University.  My major is in Business Management.  I plan to obtain minors in Public Relations and Entrepreneurship. Receiving my MBA has always been a goal, one that I am excited to begin working toward.  I have my own company, Made by Jade LLC.  I have been successfully running my business since I was eleven years old.  I want to further my business with an upper-level education.  That is why I chose management.  

Along with business, my passion is cheerleading.  In the beginning, cheerleading was just an activity I did until I fell in love with the sport.  I made the NWKS All-Star Team twice and was an All American Cheerleader.  I cheered all girl through high school and now am going to be on the coed squad at the collegiate level.  Other than cheer, I do a lot of volunteer work.  Growing up in 4-H allowed me to learn through participation in many different types of activities.  I helped with younger 4-H kids, all while participating in my project areas, ranging from livestock to cooking, sewing, etc. This is a small part of my life, and I’m excited to share with others.
