Danielle Bull will be a graduate student in fall 2018. She attends Oregon State University and is working toward a Master of Science degree in agricultural education. Danielle was a 2012 graduate of Clackamas High School where she was active in the North Clackamas FFA Chapter showing dairy cows. In 2014, she was selected as the Oregon Dairy Princess-Ambassador.
During the summer, Danielle works at Lady-Lane Farm in Mulino. Her future plan is to become a high school agricultural instructor.
