Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County welcomes Elizabeth Thiltges, a 4-H Extension Assistant whose focus will be teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) hands-on learning opportunities to youth ages 5–18. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Education – Leadership option. She was a 4-H youth member in Richardson County, served as a 4-H Extension intern in Cheyenne County and recently worked four years as a 4-H Assistant in Nemaha County. She says, “Having grown up on a fifth-generation farm in southeast Nebraska, being involved in 4-H and enjoying time with children really drove my passion and inspired me to pursue a career in Extension.”
