Jennifer is PhD Student, Forestry and Environmental Resources at NC State University. Jennifer is an aspiring forest and ecosystem scientist whose research interest is in diversifying new energy markets/industries like the production of woody biomass energy that could be integrated into traditional farming practices. As an Environmental Behavior Change Entrepreneur, she has designed an actor diagram that helped identify stakeholders (farmers and landowners) and conduct stakeholder analyses to help promote broad-based state adoption of bioenergy trees in the state of North Carolina. She has explored ways to secure funding to design/develop an online course for extension agents that taught farmers and landowners how to grow bioenergy trees.  She is a scholar, entrepreneur, and community advocate with transferable skills and expertise demanded across many industries and is eager to work on our projects in SC.
