While in college, Steva exemplified abilities as a leader in the Block & Bridle Club from planning every aspect of a sheep show to designing the club’s annual yearbook. These activities attracted a quick interest to adding a second Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Business. Enthusiasm for agriculture and marketing landed her a marketing internship for Case-New Holland, marketing equipment on a large-scale basis. Creating company newsletters, event promotions, and daily communications with dealers across the country are some of the tasks Steva provided for this company. In 2008, Steva launched Novel Designs to provide top-level marketing to livestock producers. Within a year, Novel Designs took off and became Steva's full-time job and the rest is history! |
