Kristy Kinlicheenie

Ya’ah’teeh my name is Kristy Kinlicheenie and I am part of the Navajo tribe from Northern Arizona. I am Honaghaahnii, born from Tlogi, my maternal grandfather is Tlizilani and my paternal grandfather is Ta’neeszahnii. I am from Hunters Point, Arizona and have been working with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension since 2016. My primary focus with Navajo Nation Extension is the 4-H program and other youth development areas. I started my educational career at a tribal college called Navajo Technical University, where I obtained an Associate of Science in Veterinary Technology. After, I received a Bachelors of Science in Equine Science from Colorado State University in 2015. Recently I received my Master of Science in Agriculture Extension Education from the University of Arizona in 2021. I have a passion for teaching within our Native communities about everything involving extension, which includes 4-H, gardening, agriculture, education, livestock education, and higher education.
