Rebecca Werbela of Cazenovia, New York, never imagined herself as an agriculture teacher, yet that is exactly what she has been doing since 2018. At least the subject matter would have been an easy guess. The Wallingford, Vermont, native grew up caring for horses at Pond Hill Ranch in Castleton, Vermont â an experience she loved. She showed in 4-H and worked at the 2,000-acre ranch during the summers from when she was age 13.
As her high school graduation drew near, she looked at a few colleges, but felt that the rural location of State University of New York (SUNY) Morrisville was a good fit for her. She graduated in 2004 with a bachelorâs degree in equine science.
