Anna Saltzman was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court and field. When it comes to high school sports, she tends to think about the memory of playing in front of her community. She works hard on and off the court and field to play at the level she is at right now, and seeing her hard work pay off means a lot. Her teammates and her have the same goal: to be the best versions of themselves as players. When they step out onto the volleyball court or soccer field, they know their community is on their side. Seeing familiar faces in the crowd supporting her team is a feeling she hopes to never forget. Anna competes in volleyball and soccer. She is involved in FFA, FCA, National Honor Society, and Silver Cord. Outside school and sports, she volunteers at the Gilbert Lutheran Church, Food at First, the athletic concession stand, and the AAU Volleyball Organization. Agriculture to Anna is around everyone, it is just a matter of finding it. She grew up in town with only one pet, so she didn't have much experience around the typical "agriculture" until she found her love for it. Agriculture became a large focus point for her very quickly, as she wanted to go to work with her father every day. This made agriculture all the more important to her, and she hoped to better food security, sustainability, and conservation for animals in her future path. Anna plans to attend Iowa State University in the fall and major in agricultural studies. She plans on emphasizing in animal science, ag sales, and ag communications. With that degree, she hopes to secure a job in the animal vaccine sales industry with a focus in livestock.
