Profile

Cindy Von Haugg is an M.S. student at Clemson University’s James C. Kennedy Waterfowl and Wetlands Conservation Center. She is a student veteran who served nine years in the Air Force before receiving her B.S. in Wildlife Management from the State University of New York at Cobleskill. While pursuing her undergraduate degree, she was active in New York State’s Chapter of Ducks Unlimited and quickly developed a strong passion for waterfowl research. Various technician positions fostered her interest in nesting ecology. After working as a field technician on a wood duck recruitment study through Clemson, she enrolled as a graduate student in August 2021. Her graduate research aims to determine forest and tree characteristics indicative of cavities suitable for nesting wood duck hens and the reproductive ecology of cavity-nesting wood ducks. Cindy enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Matt, two dogs, and cat in her spare time. You can often find them sightseeing, wandering the woods, or yelling at a football game.
