Elizabeth Thiltges

I am a fun loving individual who strives to guide the youth of this generation to become the best leaders that they can be through experiences in 4-H. To me, there is nothing greater than finding and giving opportunities for young children to grow into true leaders. It's an amazing process that I feel so lucky to participate in.
My bachelor's degree from UNL is in Agricultural Education - Leadership. My passions lie in the realms of entrepreneurship, leadership, agriculture, livestock industries, STEM and youth development. 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. I specialize in 4-H Youth Development and feel so blessed to be a part of the Nebraska Extension team!
