Accomplishments

I developed a dairy industry podcast in 2021, The Milk Minute Dairy Podcast, which was intended to diversify educational reach among audiences that I couldn't normally educate. This 12 episode series gained 450 followers in 8 countries and it allowed me to win an Extension Communication Award at the Texas and National levels.

From 2016 to 2021, my educational work across the major commodity sectors in Texas allowed me to be honored with the Outstanding County Extension Agent awards from the Plains Cotton Growers, Texas Wheat Producers Board, and the Texas Association of Dairymen.
