Caitlin has always been involved in the agriculture industry in some way, so a career in the industry is only natural. She grew up in rural southeast Georgia where she sold produce and baked goods at her local farmers market, as well as being an active member of her local 4-H and FFA organizations. Caitlin began her undergraduate education at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, before transferring to the University of Georgia, where she received a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Communications. Following graduation, Caitlin moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas to attend the University of Arkansas for graduate school, where she got an M.S. of Agriculture Extension and Education with a focus in communication. Her research focused on landowners' perceptions of conservation easements and how organizations can best persuasively communicate to them. Caitlin is passionate about using creative communication efforts to educate those not directly involved in production agriculture.
