Kennedy Bentley is a first-year graduate student pursuing a Master’s degree in Agricultural and Extension Education. A native of Dallas, Texas, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from Tennessee State University. Kennedy’s passion lies in international agricultural extension, and she is always eager to assist others and explore new areas of research.

Her love for agriculture began with school-based youth projects and is uniquely tied to her birthday—Earth Day. Coming from a nontraditional background in agriculture, Kennedy values the fresh perspectives she brings to addressing complex challenges in the field.

When she’s not diving into research, Kennedy is often traveling the world. Passionate about both domestic and international adventures, she enjoys capturing her experiences through photography and sharing stories from her journeys.
