Fall Intern

braxton@akiptan.org | 605-301-0499

My name is Braxton Hammons, I am originally from Willcox, Arizona, and I am currently a senior at New Mexico State University studying Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Business. Growing up in a small agricultural community gave me an appreciation for agriculture and the people who make the industry what it is. I am interested in agricultural finance, marketing, and rural development, and I am excited to continue learning about the different opportunities within the industry. I hope to use my education and experiences to build a career that keeps me connected to agriculture and allows me to make a positive impact. Outside of school and work, I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, working on creative projects, and spending time with my loved ones.
