Breaking Barriers: Jill Uken Shines as a Tech Student in the Ag Industry

At AHW LLC, we take great pride in recognizing the hardworking and dedicated individuals who contribute to the success of our company and the agricultural industry. We are thrilled to highlight Jill Uken, an exceptional Ag Tech student at our Urbana AHW location.

Jill is currently excelling in the Parkland Diesel Program, where her passion for agriculture and the trades shines through in her outstanding performance. Growing up near her grandparents' farms, Jill developed a deep love for the agricultural lifestyle and the technical skills that keep the industry running smoothly.

Her journey into the world of agriculture began at a young age, and she has never looked back. Jill’s commitment to her education and her craft is truly inspiring. She credits her teachers at Parkland and the experienced technicians at our dealership as her biggest mentors, guiding her along the way and helping her achieve her goals.

When asked what advice she would give to young women considering a career as a technician, Jill's response is both simple and empowering: "If it's what you want to do and it makes you happy, then go for it!" Her words are a testament to her determination and passion for the field.

Jill's story is a reminder of the important role that women play in agriculture and the trades. Her dedication and hard work are paving the way for future generations of women in the industry. We are proud to have Jill as part of our team and excited to see where her journey takes her next.
