From Humble Beginnings to Senior Executive: Kimberly Graham, Assistant Deputy Administrator, USDA Farm Service Agency Kimberly Graham still lives in the same Charles County, Maryland town where she grew up. Fifty miles south of Washington, D.C., La Plata is a small town where tobacco farms dot the landscape—or at least it was small in 1988 when Graham was a teenager embarking on her first job as a Clerk Typist with the federal government. In March of 2022, Graham became the first African American to serve as Assistant Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA). Now a Senior Executive, she has held positions at every grade level in federal service, but she has not lost touch with the clerical start to her career. |
