What is your position at the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center?
I am an agricultural research technician for the Agroecosystems Entomology Lab under Julie Peterson.
What drew you to the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center?
I was looking for a position to occupy my time and my sister-in-law, Chandra, informed me that Julie was looking for someone to build moth traps part time. I interviewed for the position and was offered the job.
What aspect of working in an educational setting do you enjoy the most?
The aspect of working in an educational setting that I enjoy the most is meeting people from around the world and having the opportunity to learn more about them and where they are from.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement was learning how to work in an entirely different line of work than I was used to. Before this position, I had never worked in the agriculture industry.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
There is not much that comes to mind that people don’t know about me. I am a pretty open person.
What is your life like outside of work?
Life outside of work involves taking care of my horses, dogs, cats, and chickens. I also travel to visit my son in Virginia and my daughter in Texas with my two grandsons.
