    Extension is about providing education and opportunities to the communities in which we serve. As a 4-H Youth Development Agent I coordinate all 4-H programming in the county. I work in a wide range of situations including in-school programming in financial responsibility, STEM, and nutrition, project groups, and youth career development events. I'm passionate about agriculture and natural resources so I enjoy coaching teams like Wildlife Judging but I also recognize the importance of learning life-skills like sewing. Where I cannot provide first-hand knowledge to Obion county's youth I facilitate their learning by utilizing volunteers. My objective is to provide our youth with Real. Life. Solutions. to expand their knowledge, increase their opportunities, and advance their lives.

    • Hardin County, Kentucky

    During the Summer of 2015 I had the opportunity to work in Hardin County, Kentucky as a Cooperative Extension Service Intern. While I experienced all working with all three categories of extension agents (Family and Consumer Science, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and 4-H), I spent the majority of my summer working with 4-H Agents and the youth within the county. I coordinated workshops pertaining to STEM, agriculture, and FCS curriculum, coordinated with 4-H club leaders and county population, and supervised Kentucky youth on extended trips. Because each day was a unique experience, myself and the other UK CES interns across the state of Kentucky were required to keep a blog about some of the situations we encountered.
