Brady Potter, '06

At the time, an Admissions Counselor at the University of New England. Previously, worked as a Farm Manager at The Community School in South Tamworth, NH.

"Having a minor in Women's Studies and focusing on women in the environment helped me to foster my own relationship with the natural world. As a farmer, I was always thinking about how my relationship with the land differed from the one the farmers I learned from had. Each day I went about my work thinking of how to nurture and give back to the earth, as all of those women before me had as they connected with the natural world. I truly feel as though my minor helped open my eyes and my heart to the world, and to become a stewardess of the earth.

"My minor also helped me to take more risks. Through my research and personal experiences, I'm able to look at the world in a holistic way and to not put myself into any categories or boxes. Instead, I do what's different. I challenge myself. I live on a bus. I become a farmer."
