Welcome Meredith!
Agent, 4-H Youth Development
|
Hi, everyone! My name is Meredith Kreeger, and I am so excited to be joining the 4-H Team! Originally from Pfafftown, NC, I've been at home here in Guilford County for the past three and a half years. I'm a proud NC State alum currently continuing my education with a Master of Public Health in Community Health Education at UNCG. On the weekends, you can find me reading, doing yoga, or kayaking at City Lake Park during the warmer months.
I have been an EFNEP Nutrition Educator in Guilford County for the past 14 months and previously served as an AmeriCorps VISTA member in High Point. I'm honored to continue serving in this community as a 4-H Agent and look forward to working with you all!
I'd also love to connect with you! Please feel free to send me an email at mlkreeger@ncat.edu
