Growing up on a black sheep farm in south-central Kansas with Oklahoma Agriculture and Mechanical College-graduate parents, Hughes began teaching adults hand spinning and natural dyeing at the age of five.

Education has been Hughes’ lifelong career: teaching grades 7-12 Home Economics at USD #378 Riley County, Kansas; working as an education consultant with Special Populations and Corrections at the Kansas State Department of Education; working for the Oklahoma State Department of Career and Technology Education as the program specialist for Health Occupations Education and State Health Occupations Students of America State Advisor; working as a nationally certified therapeutic massage therapist; and working as an Instructional Developer of curriculum for Fire Protection Publications/International Fire Service Training Association at Oklahoma State University.

Hughes is the proud wife of 33 years to Marc Hughes, parent of two grown children, daughter Chauncey Monroe, Tech Sargent in the United States Air Force, and son, Connor Hughes, current OSU Plant and Soil Sciences major senior. Her “free time" is spent rebuilding the family’s home destroyed by the May 19, 2013 tornado, riding their Honda 1800 Gold Wing motorcycle and rug hooking.

A safe and effective fire service must have capable instructors delivering effective training. The “Fire and Emergency Services Instructor" 9th edition, is the IFSTA source for instructor training. National Fire Protection Association 1021, Standard for Fire Officer Professional Qualifications requires Instructor Level I certification as a prerequisite for Fire Officer Level I. This new IFSTA Instructor text is ideal for these Level I learners.

This NEW text includes all NFPA 1041, Standard for Fire Service Instructor Professional Qualifications, 2019 Levels I, II, and III JPR’s.
