Farm Credit Welcomes Hill as Generalist Intern
Farm Credit of the Virginias (FCV), a lending cooperative that serves Virginia, West Virginia and western Maryland, announced that Kaytlynn Hill has joined the Association as a generalist intern. She is based at the Verona Operations Center, though she will spend time visiting branches and customer-owners throughout the footprint, as well as shadowing other departments.
Hill is from Rockingham County, Va. where she grew up on a beef cattle operation, and her family previously raised sheep and swine as well. Hill herself has a Boer goat herd and enjoys raising show goats for members of 4-H and FFA. In her youth, she was heavily involved with 4-H and FFA, where she participated in livestock judging, horse judging, cattle working and many other agricultural competitions. Hill is a rising senior at Bridgewater college, majoring in Business with a double concentration in accounting and finance.
Hill brings extensive knowledge of the agriculture industry to her internship, as she has previously worked on a large Simmental operation in addition to working on her own family’s farm. Regarding her internship, Hill shared, “I am looking forward to using my agricultural experiences to bring new perspectives to Farm Credit and to learn more about how Farm Credit serves the farmers in our communities!”
“My team and I are thrilled to welcome Kaytlynn to FCV for the summer! As a generalist intern, she has the unique opportunity to explore and shadow various departments that align with her interests,” shared her mentor, Casey Northrop, employee experience specialist. “This experience will offer her valuable insights from multiple perspectives, and I’m confident she will make a meaningful impact during her time with us.”
In her spare time, Hill enjoys exhibiting her goats at the Rockingham County Fair and watching baseball with her family.
