Senior Spotlight: Claire Schumacher

Meet Claire Schumacher from the Gillford Golden Gophers 4-H Club! Claire has been involved in 4-H for 11 years and has made countless memories along the way. Some of her favorites came from traveling to Missouri and Pennsylvania through the 4-H Travel Exchange program, where she enjoyed meeting new people and learning about different states.

After graduation, Claire plans to attend the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire to major in Healthcare Administration.

Claire says 4-H helped her develop important interviewing and public speaking skills through presenting projects, while also teaching her the value of volunteering in her community.

Her advice to younger 4-H members: “Get involved in anything that might interest you. Also join Travel Exchange you will have so much fun!”

Congratulations, Claire, and best wishes on your next adventure!
