My name is Ashley Treadwell, and I am located in Umatilla County, specifically in Hermiston. I just finished my first year of college at Eastern Oregon University, and I am working towards my bachelor of science degree in nursing. There are a multitude of areas that you can enter in the field of nursing. I hope to become a travel nurse in the future because I thoroughly enjoy traveling and experiencing what this world has to offer. I would only pursue this for a few years, however, then eventually work at a hospital. I chose this internship because it will help me to become knowledgeable about the public health aspect of nursing. If I can inform my patients about nutrition, it will help play a large role in prevention. It will also help to further develop my communication skills with people of a variety of ages.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a lot of experience with Extension. As a kid I had the pleasure in participating in 4-H and was first exposed to the Extension Service from my time there. I always had a positive experience while being in 4-H and I learned many lifelong skills that I continue to carry with me. My mom was previously employed at the Extension and while she was here, I aided her in making videos for the Food Hero website. My main job was filming the videos and editing them. Through this I learned a lot about Food Hero as a whole and what they have to offer children and families. I never realized how affordable and simple each recipe was to make. I also would join my mom at cooking classes here and there and help with childcare. Extension has created a great environment, and I am grateful to have gotten this internship.<\/span><\/p>\n

This summer I hope to learn more about Food Hero and its impact on the community. I am looking forward to meeting new people and making new connections. Cooking classes are one aspect of this internship I look forward to as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my project ideas is to teach cooking classes to a summer school class at the high school. As I was browsing the Food Hero website and social medias, I noticed they frequently advertise for young children and their families. However, Food Hero is for every age. I think that high schoolers should be integrated into platforms, so that everyone can see that it is indeed for all ages. I know as a college student I have utilized some of the food hero recipes due to them being cost effective and easy. I plan on doing integrating this idea by creating a couple Instagram Reels at the classes I teach, so that those who follow our social media can be exposed to my idea. Reels are a very popular way to watch videos, so that is why I chose this avenue to gain exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
