On January 15, 2020 I started my career with the University of Kentucky as the Lincoln County Agriculture/Horticulture Extension Agent. Prior to my start date, I was invited to Christmas Dinners, received multiple phone calls and text messages congratulating me on the position and letting me know if I needed anything to reach out to them without hesitation. Needless to say, I felt a tremendous amount of support right off the bat! It was two weeks later when I learned just how much support Lincoln County has for Extension. On January 30th, the office held a Meet and Greet for me with the Cattleman's cooking steaks and other food catered. That night we fed around 120 people and all the ladies in the office worked really hard to put the event for me on. I was blown away with the amount of support this community has for me and Extension in a whole!
