Cooperative Extension: 4-H

“4-H was an integral part of my upbringing and I am glad to be able to share it with the youth of Greater Portland. It is a privilege to serve Cumberland County as it’s new 4-H Youth Development CYFAR Professional.

For over a decade I’ve worked with youth in various capacities including; art, math tutoring, farm and wilderness camps, and gymnastics! I enjoy sharing my skills and passions with students and appreciate the lessons they teach me in return.

It’s a joy to help a young mind ignite what sparks their interest while nourishing their sense of community-belonging and supporting them through exciting and meaningful learning experiences. I am hopeful for a year of growth, adventure, and forging positive, cooperative relationships with participants and community partners!”
