Why I became an Extension Educator
Growing up in North Dakota I understand how rural and isolating this area can be.
It’s very hard and expensive to get classes up north for hairstylists which makes it hard for us to advance our careers especially if we aren’t able to travel regularly for classes.
I wanted to give stylists in rural areas the option for quality education and advanced classes to give their guests the best possible services and skills.

In rural regions, the need for accessible education is critical, especially for hairstylists seeking to enhance their skills. North Dakota's isolation presents unique challenges, making it difficult for professionals to attend classes or workshops. This has led to a gap in advanced hairstyling education. By establishing programs tailored for rural areas, educators not only bridge this gap but empower stylists with knowledge and skills to innovate in their practices. A strong community engagement can enhance the learning experience, allowing stylists to network, share techniques, and elevate local standards. Additionally, focusing on hair extensions and advanced techniques is vital, as it can significantly impact business growth and customer satisfaction in small-town salons. Providing resources and learning opportunities is essential in maintaining industry standards and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Through initiatives like these, extension educators play a pivotal role in uplifting rural hairstylists, ensuring they can provide high-quality services that meet the evolving needs of their clientele.
