Lori Hilby is the Egg Industry Center’s (EIC) newest student employee, filling the 2025 summer communications intern role. A senior in agricultural communication, she works with Lesa Vold, EIC communications specialist.
“I am excited to be the communications intern for the Egg Industry Center because I want to learn how to communicate my thoughts and ideas better orally and through writing,” Hilby said. “In this position, I am learning more about the egg industry so that I can share and educate others, whether that is consumers, producers, or even the industry members.”
Hilby has an agricultural background and grew up on a crop and livestock farm in northeast Iowa. She enjoys checking cattle, raking cornstalks, and hauling in bales on her farm. One of her favorite parts of the family operation is seeing the outcome of the calves and helping raise them to the final product.
In the future, Hilby hopes to work in a communications position within agriculture, where she can share her knowledge with others.
“We are EGGStatic that Lori chose to spend her summer learning about, and helping educate others about, the egg industry,” said Vold. “Welcome Lori to the industry if you meet her this summer.”
