By Veronica Graham | Okaloosa County Extension Office

Hello, my name is Veronica Graham and I am the new 4H Program Assistant for Okaloosa County.

Istarted working at the extension office as a volunteer for the Master Gardener Program in 2016, butjoined the 4-H team just before Christmas of 2016. I grew up in Livingston, Montana, where I enjoyedoutdoor activities such as bike riding, hiking and spending time with my three horses and two dogs.

After high school I joined the Air Force, where I served four years as an EOD technician.

During that time,I had two beautiful children and decided that they needed me more than the military did. I put down myboots and picked up the books. By 2014, I had my bachelors degree in Project Management with afocus in Training and Development.

Currently, I am leading the Embryology School Enrichment Programin 8 schools that include 54 classes. I really enjoy the fact that these students are learning thedevelopmental stages of life.

I have also been working with the Family Nutrition Program to developnew raised bed gardens for local schools.
