I am Horticulture, Landscape, and Environmental Systems Extension Educator with a horticulture focus who works in the Nebraska Extension office in Hall County. I provide horticulture related programs for youth and adults, act as the Central Nebraska Master Gardener Coordinator, and answer horticulture-based related client questions. I am a Nebraska Arborist Association Certified Arborist and International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. I am also a member of the Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association. You might recognize me because I am regular panel member on Nebraska Educational Media's Backyard Farmer program. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Horticulture with a landscape design emphasis and my Master’s Degree in Public Horticulture from the University of Nebraska—Lincoln.
