4-H Youth

Development

STEM

am very excited to begin my journey as a K-State Research and Extension Agent for STEM 4-H Youth Development. I began my professional journey working for Crawford County Mental Health.

In my time there I held a variety of roles leading and facilitating programs in schools for children with behavioral disabilities. My hope is to utilize those skills and resources to promote 4-H and the utilization of STEM.

I also have experience working with non-profits. I have worked and volunteered with Horses of Hope which is a therapeutic horseback riding center for people with disabilities. Horses of Hope has provided me the experience of working with people from all walks of life.

My involvement with 4-H in Crawford County has given me the skills and opportunities to develop knowledge and skills that have set me apart of others in my professional career. I look forward to having to opportunity of educating youth and expanding programs utilizing those skills. In my new role I am excited to help our youth develop into the leaders of tomorrow.
