Faith’s life since a young age has revolved around agriculture. She

first began riding a pony named Spudsy at the age of 4, but then switched to

raising dairy goats in 2010 with now having a herd of 10. Throughout her

agriculture career Faith has been involved in both 4-H and FFA, holding

officer positions within both organizations. When a member, Faith immersed

herself into the office environment through interning one summer and

continuing to assist throughout different circumstances such has staff

changes, public presentations and fair preparations. Now as an alumni, she

still continues as an active volunteer and project leader. Faith truly enjoys

making connections within her local Ag community and has done so in

various ways. She’s helped to bring agricultural lessons into local classrooms,

worked as a camp agriculture ambassador and is the proud publisher of a

section called “Agvocating for the Next Generation” in the Living Millbrook

Magazine where she writes about various agricultural topics geared towards

younger readers. In addition to that Faith is a Dutchess County Agricultural

Society Jr. Fair Board member.

Faith is extremely excited to be working with the Ulster County 4-H

community to share her knowledge and experiences in strengthening the

program. She wants to be able to create the opportunities she had as a 4-Her

for the next generation of members.
