Biography

Biographical Statement

I have been an extension associate since my employment at FLDC, 1992, working on the military projects.  Currently, I am a project coordinator for U.S. Army Community Service (ACS), the Family Adovocacy Program (FAP). I work on military projects that help the Army’s family programs meet accreditation standards that promote family and service member well-being. This is accomplished by providing family program professionals training material, and evaluation support for their prevention programs. Recent projects included oversight and up-dating research-based prevention information for FAP managers on program implementation, evidence-based practice principles and program evaluation;  and development of training modules for the FAP  New Parent Support Program Home Visitation.  Another project involved oversight of development of training resources for ACS staff and military leaders on planning for and preparedness through the deployment cycle.  

I continue to network with Army Community Service staff worldwide, Cooperative Extension and other social service agencies to carry out mission objectives for Army family programs.



Administrative Responsibilities
