My name is Jaelyn Sewell. I have had a passion for photography since I was a little girl. My photography career started at a young age, as I always enjoyed playing with disposable cameras and taking photos of livestock and the outdoors. Throughout high school, I became extremely active in the livestock industry, pushing my love for shooting photos of the agricultural industry even more.
I graduated from Oklahoma State University in May 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources with a degree in Food Science. During my undergraduate career, I was on the 2020 Oklahoma State Meat Judging Team and worked in the Robert M. Kerr Food and Agricultural Products Center. I obtained my Master's Degree in Agricultural Communications in the Summer of 2024, and worked with Rural Renewal Initiative throughout my thesis research.
