For 10 years, Magnochi was responsible for the overall operations and logistics of World Dairy Expo’s dairy cattle show. She facilitated all aspects of each breed show and managed youth contests. Since 2008, she has worked as a freelance writer and designer for independent agricultural publications. Her ongoing freelance work has provided her with many unique opportunities, including researching, drafting, editing and designing a 400-page book detailing a dairy herd’s influential history. Throughout her professional career she has expanded and refined her skillset to include written communication, publication design, event planning and contract management. Her continued involvement in breed associations, industry organizations, and deep understanding of industry trends, adds great value to her new role at Select Sires.
