Biography

Growing up in Florida, I've always been passionate about wildlife and the outdoors. In 2009, I attended Auburn University to pursue my bachelor's degree in Wildlife Ecology and Management. Currently, I am pursuing my master's degree in the Wildlife and Fisheries Biology program at Clemson University under Dr. Kate McFadden. . Broadly, my overall research interests are conservation of natural resources. My specific research for my master's project is concerned with developing and implementing novel management approaches to reduce feral hog damage in South Carolina.
