Howdy Burleson County! My name is Brette Miranda Wicke. I currently am the intern in the county for the semester and I am SO thrilled to be here! Just a little background about myself… I hail from the small town of Columbus, Texas. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Leadership and Development from Texas A&M University with a minor specifically in Extension. I grew up being very active in the agriculture industry. To being a member of FFA,
4-H, showing livestock and having a cattle operation, I have definitely been exposed to it
all for a lifetime! I am looking forward to a semester getting to know all of you!
Thanks and Gig ‘em!
