I have been an Extension Educator in Berrien County since June of 1997.  I am responsible for the 4-H Youth Development program.  In addition to working with my fellow educators and community partners on a variety of MSU Extension programs, I manage more than 400 adult volunteers and 1000 youth involved in 4-H clubs and programs.  I serve as the county contact person for the USDA's Team Nutrition Program that works with schools.  And, I am also an active member of MSU Extension's Volunteerism Area of Expertise Team.

I am an alum of 4-H and Michigan State University.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science and my Master's Degree is in Educational Administration, both from MSU.  Go State!
