Tandi Thompson Headshot

 

Name:  Tandi Thompson

 

What was your field of study at NDSU?

• Animal Science

 

When did you attend/graduate?

• Fall 2011 to Spring 2015

 

What are you doing nowadays?

• I work at Farmer Mac on the Transaction Management team headquartered out of Washington, D.C. My team supports the closings of syndicated and wholesale financing deals in the corporate agfinance and rural infrastructure industries. In my free time, I can be found enjoying time with friends and my English Bulldog, Axel, as well as attending Washington Capitals games when I’m able!

 

What is one of your favorite classroom/campus memories?

• There are so many great memories I have from NDSU -- specifically, the hands-on experience with livestock. It’s one thing to discuss concepts in the classroom, but I greatly appreciated seeing the impacts in the field.

 

What did you learn at NDSU that has helped you the most in your career/life?

• NDSU was a great place to meet others with the same passion for agriculture that I have. Working in the financial services space, not everyone is aware of all the hard work that goes into animal agriculture. I enjoy sharing the experiences I had at NDSU so colleagues get a better understanding and appreciation of the farming and ranching sectors.
