Hi my name is Jessica Hays. I am so excited to be joining the Coles County 4-H Extension program! I have an Associate’s degree in early childhood and have taught preschool for nine years. I am currently working on my bachelor’s degree in communications. I have gained my experience working with groups of youth through camps, educational programs, and teaching. I enjoy coffee, meeting new people, and traveling. I believe that through relationships and experiences we can learn a lot about each other and ourselves. I am looking forward to the new experiences that will come working with the Coles County 4-H!
