| Extension programs have always a been a big part of my life, whether it was being a 10-year 4-H member, a member of Indiana Extension Homemakers, or attending farm meetings. As a life long resident of rural Shelby County in Indiana, many of my disciplined life skills were developed through 4-H projects, whether it was in cooking, sewing, showing dairy cattle or Junior Leaders. The opportunity came along in 1992 for me to reverse my involvement in Extension by being employed by Purdue University Cooperative Extension as an Extension Educator in Consumer and Family Sciences in Fayette, Franklin and Union counties. Then in 1998 I transferred to Decatur County where my present responsibilities include County Extension Director, Extension Educator-Consumer and Family Sciences and 4-H/Youth Development. My husband, Kermit, is an Indiana Farm Bureau district field representative in six counties, so we get to collaborate with many of the same families. I enjoy spending relaxation time with my three dogs, one cat and horse, as well as constructing crafts. My favorite foods are anything chocolate! | ||
