Profile

I am a registered forester and Wildlife Damage Management Associate for Clemson Cooperative Extension, tasked with assisting landowners, agricultural producers, natural resources professionals, and other SC stakeholders in reducing negative human–wildlife interactions. I deliver trainings, develop resources, and collaborate with agency and industry partners to promote integrated wildlife damage management and sustainable forestry practices across the state. I provide technical assistance, applied demonstrations, and outreach programming to landowners, county agents, and professionals.
