Fairfield County welcomed Martina Wicker as the new 4-H Agent this spring.
Martina was born and raised in the Midlands of South Carolina where she now resides with her husband and two beautiful children. She graduated from Newberry College with a Bachelor’s degree in Middle Level Education in 2018. Since graduating she has taught English and Mathematics in the Elementary and Middle School settings. Her hobbies include spending time with family, gardening, reading, and canoeing down the Saluda River.
Her initial goals were to introduce herself to the county, begin building relationships, and start establishing partnerships, which are essential in a 4-H program. While building those relationships, she discovered how wonderful the residents of Fairfield County truly are. She has been welcomed with open arms, hearts, and minds and has been enjoying her time learning about Fairfield and 4-H.
Mrs. Martina hosted a successful and sold-out STEM Camp on July 30th. It was a fun day filled with learning and exploration. Beyond the STEM camp, she has successfully completed the SC TEACH School Gardening Course and Seed Library Course, attended the South Carolina 4-H Congress Banquet, volunteered at the South Carolina State Horse Show and Lauren’s County Livestock Show, learned about poultry at the Midlands Poultry Clinic, helped with a Floral Arrangement Class, and shadowed 4-H Youth Development Agents from around the state. All of her experiences have helped her to gain insight and knowledge in developing a program. We are looking forward to great things for Fairfield County 4-H.
