Welcome Kelsey, Bilingual 4-H Associate Educator!Mucho gusto - nice to meet you! My name is Kelsey Beine and I am excited to join the Fond du Lac County 4-H team. My education background includes degrees in math, Spanish, and leadership, and I have enjoyed teaching all of these subjects to both high school and college students. I am a proud 4-H alumna of 13 years, with lots of experience in club and county leadership, and a few travel experiences along the way! Outside of 4-H (and sometimes in 4-H, too!), I can be found teaching yoga and meditation, knitting, doing nature photography, and touring the Wisconsin state parks with my partner. My focus will be on expanding the 4-H program and working with underserved audiences in Fond du Lac County. Afterschool 4-H clubs and programming will be one of my priorities. I look forward to learning and discovering with you - 4-H adventures await!
