Every year the Arkansas Association for Cooperative Extension Specialists (AACES) social committee hosts a fall festival for employees. Last year was my first year to lead the team as chair. I'm pictured here with our MC during our costume contest.
Here's another AACES photo of me speaking to a new employee about our professional organization.
Me with my amazing freelancing client who is changing the local food culture in the AR Delta by introducing locally-grown soy foods!

My portfolio defense in Dec 2018! You can view that site here. I should have preserved that version since I've changed the language on it and added stuff from my work at the Cooperative Extension Service.
At the time I also had a software documentation page, but something happened to my MS Office help site that I set up for the Writing Center clients. It was hosted on my instructor's personal UALR server and I guess it doesn't exist anymore. 🤷🏻 I built the help site in Robohelp and I've realized that Robohelp is not backward compatible.
I received my master's in professional and technical writing in 2018.
