Q and A with Katie Watson

Educational background:
AAS from Muscatine Community College in Feed & Fertilizer Marketing & BA from Western Illinois University

Connection to EICCD:
Degree from MCC and continue to take classes for fun (piano, floral design, machinery repair and watercolor painting)

What students should know about community colleges:
The community college should be thought of as a tool to get you to your goals faster and more economically.

The best thing about working with students:
No two days are the same.  I learn something new every day based on my interaction with students.  I love the challenge and the opportunity to affect the community by strengthening its workforce through training and education.

Other fun and interesting things about me
I am originally from Rushsylvania, Ohio. I am the mother of two young boys (Mitchell and Logan).  My husband, Tom, and I farm a century family farm in Illinois where we raise row crops and livestock as well as operate a custom baling business. We enjoy traveling when time allows and jump at any chance to cheer on The Ohio State Buckeyes or the Muscatine Community College Cardinals.
