Land O’Lakes Employee Reflects on Career Growth Volunteering and ERG Involvement

Programming example

It’s been a while since I’ve shared an update, and a lot has changed in the best way! ✨In July 2025, I graduated from the IT TAP program and stepped into my first full-time role outside of TAP as an Intermediate Technologist on the Outcomes Acceleration Team at Land O’Lakes. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to support multiple teams in a Scrum Master capacity, which has pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve learned how to lead with intention, communicate through challenges, and truly value the power of collaboration and adaptability in a fast-moving environment.Looking back, it’s incredibly special to realize that my journey with Land O’Lakes began in 2018. What started as a series of internships has grown into something that genuinely feels like home. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to stay involved beyond my role—through volunteering, ERG initiatives, and giving back to programs that once poured into me, like Genesys Works and Aspirations. Those experiences have meant just as much to me as my professional growth.I’m deeply grateful for the people, the support, and the opportunities that have shaped me into who I am today. Excited to continue growing, giving back, and seeing where this journey takes me next!
