Extension
My extension focus is to provide strong state-wide leadership focused on comprehensive educational programs of excellence in youth related animal science, including incorporating scientific principles into livestock project selection and animal management. Additionally, I will plan, coordinate, and implement engaging youth livestock evaluation events, educational camps and clinics, and educational materials. The goal behind this being to enhance the department’s outreach and extension mission by expanding youth engagement and providing leadership through recruitment opportunities within the department. Also, I will lead and contribute value to high performing Extension programing teams and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of Extension specialists/educators, research scientists and others to evaluate and deliver effective, integrated livestock evaluation programs.
