Extension Careers

We all have certain aspects of our job that are required, but we are allowed to find what we love to do and become the best at it. It's so satisfying to watch students grow from a small Cloverbud at age 5 to become successful adults. If you want flexibility, creativity, travel, fun and family, then this is a career path for you.

I really enjoy meeting people and helping them solve problems. I am privileged to work with Extension educators across the state to help cattlemen and veterinarians of all ages and experience levels. No two days are the same. You really feel like you are making an impact on individuals and their operations.

No one day is the same. One day, you’re visiting with a producer about identifying and killing a problem weed in their pasture, and the next you’re working with your Master Gardener volunteers to host an elementary school educational event.  The varied tasks that arise from this job keep me engaged and enjoying coming into work every day.

I have helped many people in 13 years of working for Community Nutrition Education Programs. I have also made some lasting partnerships. I have been able to work with many at risk women and help them become better versions of themselves. A career in Extension is very rewarding. It will give you the opportunity to make a difference in your community.
