MEMPHIS – Missy Reynolds has been named Texas Cooperative Extension family and consumer science agent in Hall and Briscoe counties, according to Donna Brauchi, Extension district administrator.

Reynolds will do her First Step mentoring program in Childress County beginning July 9 and begin serving Briscoe and Hall counties on Aug. 10.

"Missy's expertise in working with youth and families, her 4-H background, and her enthusiasm and desire to serve will make her a valuable asset to both the Hall and Briscoe county Extension teams and most directly, to the citizens of those counties," Brauchi said.

Reynolds is currently a home-life community director at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch and has worked with Cal Farley's Girlstown and Boys Ranch programs for several years.

"I'm looking forward to serving a wider community," she said. "I've been working with youth for the last 15 years, and I'm interested in working with all ages."

Reynolds said she will have to learn how to balance the needs of both counties. She is interested in working with the schools and the youth, as well as with the senior citizens in meeting their activity and health needs.

A native of Claude, Reynolds earned a bachelor's degree in human development and family studies from Texas Tech University and a master's degree in family life education from Lubbock Christian University.
