What is your role with the LSU AgCenter, and how long have you been in Extension?

I am the Program Assistant for Webster Parish, where I help support and coordinate programs and events across the parish. I’ve been with Extension for one year, and it has already been an incredibly rewarding experience.

What inspired you to pursue a career in Extension?

I’ve always loved working with the community and making a positive impact in people’s lives. Helping others learn, grow, and feel supported is what motivates me every day, and Extension gives me the perfect opportunity to do that.

What programs or areas do you specialize in?

My primary focus is nutrition, but I assist with all programs as needed. I enjoy being involved in a variety of activities and supporting our team wherever I can.

What do you enjoy most about serving your community?

I enjoy the opportunity to educate others about nutrition and healthy lifestyles. Helping people build the knowledge and confidence they need to reach their goals is incredibly fulfilling.

The part that truly lights me up is getting kids involved. Watching them try new skills, discover what they’re capable of, and make new friends through different programs is such a joy. Seeing their growth reminds me why this work matters.

What is one goal you’re excited to work on this year?

This year, I’m excited to continue working alongside everyone in our office and helping our programs grow to their full potential. I look forward to supporting new ideas, strengthening community connections, and contributing to the success of Webster Parish.
