I started with the team as team assistant in 1999. In 2005, I was promoted to my current position as Small Farms Specialist. My responsibilities include conducting educational programs in grazing, livestock production, and marketing for commercial dairies and livestock farms in the 9-county region. I also conduct trainings for Beef Quality Assurance certification as a certified trainer. An important responsibility is working with beginning farmers.- Design and deliver educational programs that meet the needs of producers related issues pertaining to livestock production.

- Organize seasonal pasture walks.
- Collaborate with Cornell faculty, staff and producers on research projects and grants that address the needs of the NY producer.
- Target programs to grow, encourage and support beginning farmers.
