Andrea is an Ag Prep scholar from Avenal who majored in human development and minored in Chicano studies at UC Davis. She was a human resources intern at Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds, an experience that she said exceeded her expectations. She later returned to work for Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds on the research and development team.
My communication skills were something I always wanted to work on, and this internship allowed me to do that and boost my skills in a short amount of time.

Ivan is an Ag Prep scholar who graduated from UC Davis with a major in civil engineering and minor in construction management. He interned with the beverage production team at POM Wonderful.
Since many skills are not taught in school, it makes internships another excellent way to expand our skill sets. After college, I would like to return to the Central Valley and explore more opportunities with The Wonderful Company.

I have always enjoyed a challenge. I do not see many women in the agriculture industry and want to be part of something important that can make the world a better place, one plant at a time!
