4-H hands-on learning & education programs for kids build skills like responsibility, resiliency & hard work, helping them to succeed in life.

Since joining the organization in 2006 to grow support for the 4-H movement, I have focused my efforts on supporting growth and leadership development for nearly six million young people through 4-H programs in science, agriculture, health and citizenship. National 4-H Council is currently leading the largest brand and alumni activation initiative in 4-H history, the Grow True Leaders Campaign, in partnership with America’s land-grant universities and Cooperative Extension System as well as the United States Department of Agriculture. In 2017, I was honored to represent 4-H in Fast Company’s annual list of the 100 Most Creative People in Business for the organization's outstanding work to empower youth with the skills needed for life today and for their careers tomorrow. A Missouri native, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications and political science from William Jewell College, a Master of Public Administration degree from Syracuse University and attended St. Peter’s College at Oxford University. As an undergraduate, I was recognized as a Harry S. Truman Scholar. I currently serve on the boards of AgriCorps and Imagine Science, as well as hold memberships with Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, Forbes Nonprofit Council, and the Farm Foundation Round Table.
