Dear Dodge County 4-H,
My name is Kelly Flanders, and I am excited to be the new Administrative Support Specialist at the Dodge County UW Extension Office! Before I came here, I worked as a library aide at the Jack Russell Memorial Library in Hartford. I have degrees in music performance and counseling; as you may have guessed, I love books, education, and being a helper in my community.
I grew up in a small town in the La Crosse area. My childhood home was on the banks of the Mississippi River, so I love nature and small-town life. That said, I have also lived in San Jose and Chicago, and I have been here for the past 12 years. This has been my favorite place to call home yet! I have two adventurous and wonderful daughters, one silly and stubborn corgi, and 2 charming and surprising cats. I couldn’t wish for more.
I am very happy to be of service to Dodge County, and I look forward to meeting you when you come into the UW Extension office!
Best wishes,
Kelly Flanders
Administrative Support Specialist
