Profile

My Name is Olivia McCracken. I am from Pittsburgh, Pa, and an Undergraduate student at Pennsylvania Western University in California, Pa. I focus on studying Fisheries and Wildlife Biology but have a great passion for fresh and saltwater fisheries. I partake in the American Fisheries Society, The Wildlife Society and more! When I am not in school, I am working and spending time with my family and my cat named Louisa! I have an array of hobbies and outdoor skills like camping, hiking, fishing, I enjoy going to a Pen’s hockey game, traveling, and trying new things! Here at Clemson, I will be working while finishing my degree. I will be helping Crystal Anderson conduct pollinator surveys and research. I will also contribute to the Community Garden within the research project. I have extensive experience locally and statewide with pollinators and gardening and I look forward to bringing my knowledge to Clemson during my time here and seeing where it takes me in my educational journey and career.
