Paloma Wizikowski
Southern Region President
Chapter: Sunny Hills FFA
"Hi Southern Region! My name is Paloma Wizikowski and I am SO incredibly honored and excited to be serving as your region President! I will be a senior this year at Sunny Hills High School in the Orange Section. Throughout my time in FFA, I have had so much fun raising two lambs, a pig, and a steer. I have also competed in Job Interview, Fruit Tree, and Agriculture Sales as well as attending many conferences and meeting countless new friends in FFA. My favorite FFA experience so far has been attending National Convention this past year! I enjoy spending time on my chapter’s farm, hanging out with friends and family, and going to the beach. FFA is truly my passion, and I am so lucky to lead such a wonderful region full of members who share this excitement about FFA!"
