Wynter Varner
Agriculture InternI joined the UPR team in November of 2025. I love talking to people and sharing their stories, and my work at UPR is one of the best ways I can do that. I work to produce the USU Extension Highlights, The Green Thumb, and Ask and Expert episodes. Outside of my work at UPR, I crochet, collect CDs, write poetry, take photos, and watch countless video essays.
