Schroeder Law Offices is happy to announce that intern, Valley Urricelqui is joining us this summer in the Reno Office. Valley was born and raised in the Northeastern part of California where her family runs a hay and cattle ranch.
Valley is a strong advocate in the Cattle Industry as she is the Public Relations Officer for the Chico State Young Cattleman’s Association. In April this year, Valley received the title of California State Beef Ambassador representing the North State. In this position she represents the State of California as a voice for the Beef Industry and is helping to spread the good word about the agriculture industry as a whole in efforts to gain more support from the public. Her goal is to present in elementary classrooms to educate our youth about where their food comes from, the hard work and processes necessary for raising livestock and food supplies, and the nutritional health benefits of our food. Making the “farm-to-fork” connection is an important mission for Valley.
Valley is currently attending Chico State University where she plans to graduate with a degree in Agriculture Science and Education come Spring 2019. After graduation from Chico State, Valley plans to attend law school in hopes of becoming a water or land rights attorney. Being born and raised in the agriculture industry she has grown a strong passion for protecting individual property interests and natural resources. As Valley states, “I have watched my family, as well as other good ranching and farming families, deal with land and water right issues for years.”
Valley’s passion is providing support in the protection of farmers and ranchers, to ensure generations to come continue to add to the food security of our nation. Regardless of the path Valley will choose, she wants to continue being an advocate for the industry and wants to increase awareness of agriculture especially with our younger generations.
