Hey everyone! My name is Madison Strain and I am excited to be serving as your 2023-2024 Orange County Federation Sentinel!

I am currently a junior at Horizon High School where I proudly serve as the chapter Vice President. This is my 6th year as an FFA member and my 5th year as an officer. I have competed in a variety of CDEs and LDEs. My favorite CDEs are Horse Evaluation and Veterinary Science and my favorite LDE is Parliamentary Procedure. In my free time, you can find me practicing for one of the various sports I play at school such as swimming, weightlifting, or flag football. You could also find me in the bee yard tending to my bees or working at Chick-fil-A. My SAE project is beekeeping where I manage 10 beehives and sell the honey that is produced. I have also worked with other beekeepers and sold a couple of nucs to help maintain the population of my bees as well as help a new beekeeper start their apiary. 

I am beyond thrilled to get to know all of you and serve as your Orange County Sentinel!
