Pamela Redwine has an affinity for interacting with people to help them learn new, interesting information about important life skills. So, it would seem very natural for her to excel in her career of working with people simply to help them improve their quality of life.
Pamela aids people by planning, presenting and evaluating programs in Family & Consumer Science. She teaches various programs such as Walk-A-Weigh, and the Healthy Homes Initiative. She also offers child care trainings for early care and education providers.
She leads a 4-H Science Club, Sewing Club, Crochet Club, Arts and Crafts Club, and oversees a Master Chef’s School for young people.
“I love helping people, especially when they learn something they didn’t expect,” Pamela said. “I have always loved family and consumer science, so when I was offered the position, I knew it would be a perfect fit!” Pamela said.
During her career, she said she has come to better understand the asset that MSU Extension is to others in the county, and she hopes to spread this word to others through her work.
“Being a coordinator and planner truly requires a servant’s heart,” she said. “There must be a willingness to learn new things, even when you are completely out of your comfort zone.”
Pamela said she and her husband are blessed to celebrate their nineteen-year anniversary at the end of August.
“We have two children, ages 13 and 11.” She and her family are members of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Grenada.
