What are your job duties/job responsibilities in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources?

I provide operations management and project and fiscal support to two offices: CAFNR’s International Programs office and the Center for Regenerative Agriculture.

How long have you worked in CAFNR?

Since 2011! I worked in the Cambio Center (2011-2018), CAFNR’s International Programs Office (2018-present), and the Center for Regenerative Agriculture (2025-present).

What do you enjoy about working for CAFNR/Mizzou?

I like working with people who share the belief that our work in research, education and extension can contribute to improving our community and state and can help build a healthy world.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I like to spend time with my 12-year-old son, work in the garden/houseplants, and help build resilient communities.

What is something your co-workers/other CAFNR employees don’t know about you?

I adore working in Latin America (I’ve lived in Colombia and Argentina). The past few years, CAFNR International Programs has been collaborating with Mexico’s public agriculture university Chapingo Autonomous University to design and implement positive youth development programs in middle schools. The project provides teaching and leadership training for the university ag students to be able to volunteer in the middle school programs.
