Welcome Agreena Hiring Professionals


Hello! I'm Tilly Mohr.


+1 507-217-1338 · ChokeCherryDesign@hotmail.com · LinkedIn/TillyM


I’m a visual communications guru with 15 years of professional experience in photography, marketing and design. I love creating engaging stories that make a positive impact in my clients’ lives, because I believe that my success comes from helping others achieve the best versions of themselves, both professionally and personally. I’m a firm believer that the best solutions arise from collaboration and conversation.


I thrive through learning, and pushing my boundaries by doing “the scary thing.” I speak Spanish well enough to keep me out of trouble, and currently just enough Danish to probably get myself into trouble. I’m also currently learning ASL to better connect with loved ones. Chocolate and coffee fuel my creativity. Authenticity is my life's dress code. Charm and empathy are my superpowers. If it weren’t for my morals, I’d probably be a millionaire… which is probably for the best that I’m not, since I know I’d go and adopt ALL the cats.

Preemptive Interview Responses

What about Agreena made you decide to apply?

A.This position feels like it was made for me. Every company claims they "make a positive impact" on this world, but I believe Agreena actually does. Your story is impressive and your dedication to helping others aligns with my own values. I have grown up in the heart of the agricultural hub here in America and I know my way around tractors and combines (even if my rows aren't perfectly straight, who's judging?!) so agriculture is near and dear to my heart. Your mission to make it more sustainable so that farmers can keep their businesses and the land keeps giving back to the world is an admirable cause.

I also recognize your commitment to your employees and know that I won't be treated like just a number there - that my work and input can really matter within a team and the company. I appreciate interactions with people from all walks of life and your inclusive mindset excites me. Your mention of a "supportive and positive work environment" appeals to me, knowing that not only myself but also those around me will be given the resources they need for everyone to succeed - I admire a work environment where no one gets left behind or ostracized.

What is your weakest skill?

A.Doing math in my head. Luckily my school teachers were wrong when they told me "you won't be walking around with a calculator in your pocket"!

How do you perform best under pressure?

A.As Einstein (supposedly) said, 'You can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.' – meaning everyone is brilliant in their own unique way. As such, a team succeeds when people’s strengths are recognized and utilized. You wouldn’t ask an architect to do an accountant’s job—it’s inefficient and drains both resources and morale.

In an interview setting, my brilliance is best expressed through written responses. While I absolutely can (and do) succeed under pressure, my strengths shine the most when provided the opportunity to articulate my responses in writing. Written responses enhance effective communication between me and the other party, benefitting us both.

What is your leadership style?

A.Collaborative & Inspiring. I encourage open dialogue with an inclusive environment where ideas are allowed to be expressed freely, and ensuring everyone has a place at the metaphorical table. I strive to inspire confidence in my fellow team members and the stakeholders we collaborate with by balancing high expectations with the support necessary for each role to thrive.

Describe your ideal work environment.

A.I thrive in collaborative and supportive environments where teams can exchange constructive feedback and work cohesively to solve problems or achieve goals. I prefer dynamic, purpose-driven settings that encourage innovation and learning from mistakes. My ideal workplace fosters individual growth alongside company-wide success. I also value a balance between independent work and teamwork, where creativity stays fresh while allowing for deep focus.

What is your desired compensation?

A.A fair offer from a company reflects its integrity and builds a foundation of trust and loyalty. Given that a company like yours has likely set a well-considered compensation range based on budget, industry standards, and the responsibilities of the role, I want to respect that. Should an offer be extended to me, I’m open to discussing compensation that aligns with these factors as well as the value my experience can bring to your team and the company.
