Sarah Hughes - Assistant Trainer

Hi! My name is Sarah Hughes and I am the 2011-2012 Junior Leader Assistant Trainer. I was the 2009-2010 NYS FCCLA Communications officer from District 4. I have been in FCCLA for thirteen years and plan to be involved in this organization for many more.

I am a sophomore at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, studying Biology/Pre-Medicine. Almost every class I take in college requires an oral presentation. FCCLA has taught me how to speak publically and how to stay calm in front of people. I look forward to passing on these skills to our future leaders.
