Extensive Experience and Expertise
Throughout my career, I have worked across multiple sectors of agriculture, from field crop management and sustainable farming to food safety and farm diversification. As a County Extension Educator with Purdue Cooperative Extension Service, I led programs on farm safety, nitrogen management, soil health improvement, and small farm business strategies. My experience managing soybean field surveys, drought response initiatives, and private applicator training programs has solidified my reputation as a trusted resource in agricultural education and sustainability.
Beyond extension work, my background in market gardening, livestock management, and food safety education allows me to offer practical solutions that balance profitability and sustainability. I have collaborated with USDA, farm agencies, health departments, and agricultural businesses, ensuring best practices in pesticide application, livestock care, and farm-to-table food production. My expertise in horticulture education, master gardener training, and small farm development has empowered countless farmers and landowners to implement effective, environmentally responsible strategies.
Throughout my career, I have presented at hundreds of agricultural conferences, workshops, and training sessions, sharing knowledge with farmers, industry professionals, educators, and policymakers. My expertise has been showcased in statewide and national agriculture events, including Purdue Cooperative Extension workshops, the Indiana Small Farm Conference, USDA-led sustainability forums, and specialized training programs on food safety, pest management, and livestock care.
I have led discussions on sustainable farming, crop diversification, agronomic best practices, and market gardening, delivering impactful presentations that have helped farmers and agricultural businesses enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and implement eco-friendly solutions. My ability to translate complex agricultural challenges into practical, actionable insights has made me a sought-after speaker in the industry.
