👋 Meet the Team!

Over the next couple weeks, we'll be introducing the people who make Clemson Extension's work possible in Lancaster County. From agriculture and natural resources to youth development, health and nutrition, and livestock and forages, our team is here to serve you.

Today's post features the four staff members housed in the Lancaster County Extension Office. Don't worry—we'll be sharing individual spotlight posts for each of them in the coming weeks so you can get to know them better!

In addition to these four staff members, many of the programs and services available in Lancaster County are supported by agents and specialists who are based in neighboring county offices and serve multiple counties across the region. We'll be introducing those team members throughout this series as well.

Be sure to follow along as we highlight each member of our team and share how they help bring Clemson Extension's research-based education and resources to Lancaster County every day.
