“We are excited to have Kristi back,” says Bridger Feuz, associate director of UW Extension. “She brings several years of experience, strong relationships with the Laramie County commissioners, and an amazing network with the committed 4-H volunteers in Laramie County.”

Nagy first joined Laramie County Extension in 2015. She started as an administrative assistant and transitioned to the role of 4-H military educator in 2017. In this role, Nagy created educational, hands-on activities for youth with family members serving in the military. She primarily worked with youth whose family members were associated with the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base and Wyoming National Guard. She also coordinated with a variety of stakeholders, including military leaders, military youth, volunteers, and the local community.

In 2019, Nagy transitioned to a 4-H youth development position. She led programs and events and used newsletters, social media, and other methods to promote Laramie County 4-H.

Nagy received a bachelor’s from the University of Phoenix in business administration and holds an associate degree in early childhood education from Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colorado.

After a brief hiatus over the summer, Nagy resumed her role with Laramie County Extension on Monday, Oct. 7. For more information about Laramie County 4-H programs, reach out to Nagy at (307) 633-4383 or knagy@uwyo.edu.
