A lifelong resident of Lewistown, Kaytlin’s community involvement is deeply rooted. Her professional background includes roles in healthcare, social services, and education. After working as a licensed massage therapist, she joined Illinois Extension as a SNAP-Ed instructor, focusing on Tazewell County audiences. During this time, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrative Studies: Leadership and Organization from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Kaytlin later expanded her community service work as a Domestic Violence Case Manager with Fulton-Mason Crisis Service and the Fulton County Children’s Advocacy Center. These experiences strengthened her commitment to improving access and equity within the communities she serves.

In her current role, Kaytlin supports SNAP-Ed efforts across the four-county unit, particularly in Fulton and Mason Counties. Her work helps promote policies, systems, and environments that make healthy living easier and more accessible.

Outside of work, Kaytlin co-founded the Cloverbud Cuties 4-H Club in Fulton County and enjoys spending time with her husband and three active boys. The family loves side-by-side (SXS) rides and cheering on their kids in sports. In quieter moments, Kaytlin enjoys a good true crime documentary or book.
