The LSU AgCenter continues its employee spotlight series by recognizing Brittany Hudson, program assistant for Webster Parish.
Hudson, who has been with Extension for one year, helps support and coordinate programs and events across the parish through the Webster Parish Extension Office.
“I am the Program Assistant for Webster Parish, where I help support and coordinate programs and events across the parish,” Hudson said. “I’ve been with Extension for one year, and it has already been an incredibly rewarding experience.”
Hudson said her interest in Extension work stems from a desire to serve and support the community.
“I’ve always loved working with the community and making a positive impact in people’s lives,” she said. “Helping others learn, grow, and feel supported is what motivates me every day, and Extension gives me the perfect opportunity to do that.”
Her primary focus is nutrition programming, though she assists with a variety of Extension initiatives as needed.
“My primary focus is nutrition, but I assist with all programs as needed,” Hudson said. “I enjoy being involved in a variety of activities and supporting our team wherever I can.”
Hudson said she values opportunities to educate residents on healthy lifestyles and to work with youth through Extension programs.
“I enjoy the opportunity to educate others about nutrition and healthy lifestyles,” she said. “Helping people build the knowledge and confidence they need to reach their goals is incredibly fulfilling.”
She added that working with children is a particularly rewarding aspect of her role.
“The part that truly lights me up is getting kids involved,” Hudson said. “Watching them try new skills, discover what they’re capable of, and make new friends through different programs is such a joy.”
Looking ahead, Hudson said she plans to continue supporting the growth of Extension programs in Webster Parish.
“This year, I’m excited to continue working alongside everyone in our office and helping our programs grow to their full potential,” she said. “I look forward to supporting new ideas, strengthening community connections, and contributing to the success of Webster Parish.”
