I am from Hanston, a little town in Southwest Kansas. I was a 4-H member in the Pawnee Pioneers 4-H club and am happy to be working with the organization for my career. 4-H helped me become a better public speaker and team leader.

I got an Associates degree from Colby Community College and my Bachelors degree from the University of Kansas. I have lived in Shawnee county for five years and my family loves it here.

The Shawnee County 4-H program also offers numerous ways for youth to become involved on the local, county, state and national level.  Youth have the opportunity to learn new leadership skills and participate in numerous citizenship projects.
