My position at Warnell involves outreach and instruction. My outreach work focuses on wildland fire, community forestry/ arboriculture, woody plant identification, and wild harvesting education in the state and southeastern region. One of my current outreach projects has been the development and delivery of a USDA-NIFA funded project on fire-resistant landscaping, or firescaping. I instruct/ co-instruct a blend of undergraduate and graduate courses and am part of the core faculty of the new Community Forestry and Arboriculture (COFA) area of emphasis. Prior to my position at Warnell, I worked for 5 years with the office of the Southern Regional Extension Forester, where I developed projects on regional and national wildland fire and community forestry projects. Prior to my work at the university, I was a landscape gardener for nearly 15 years.
