Profile of expertise: My masters degree is in Family and Child Development and I've worked in that Impact program area and Family Financial Well-Being Impact for the past 14 years. I taught parenting classes to court ordered parents the past 14 years and family budgeting to Headstart parents, also. I'm trained in the PREP (Oklahoma Marriage Initiative program and Home Buyers' Education)  I have done a lot with Home Based Businesses.   However, I like to read and have worked for Extension for 20 years and attended in-services to where I feel pretty well rounded.  I'm studying nutrition every chance I get now. The following counties are included in the Pushmataha Unit: Bryan, Choctaw, Atoka, McCurtain, and Pushmataha.
