Carrie works in Canyon County as the Extension educator for 4-H youth development. As a nine-year member of 4-H, she was inspired to go to the University of Idaho to study animal science. Working summers in her home county to arrange 4-H fair activities, she decided to focus her career on Extension. Her current programs focus on STEM, livestock, small animals, teens, leadership, citizenship and going onto secondary education.
