Have been seriving Pike County Soil and Water Conservation District for 4.5 years this is coming upon my 5th year. My conservation office has mainly worked with farmers in prior years creating water quality plans and nutrient management plans. Currently I am a cosmetologist working at Ulta Salon in the evenings and weekends, a Peer Support Specialist at Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, and working to get my Enviornmental Education Certification which I will finish up at the beginning of 2025. My hobbies include gardening, forging fungis and plants, fishing, kyaking, hunting, painting, crafting, learning about science because it is ever evolving and changing. My passion for science started at a very young age of watching my brother do experiments from building volcanoes to blasting small rockets. Then evolved when I met some great scientists that became best friends of mine. I was and am able to mentor under them and they have taught me a lot about natural science. Cosmetology taught me more about the human body then any science class in high school or college I ever took.
