Growing up in Pass Christian, Mississippi, my connection with nature has been a lifelong journey. My passion for fishing took root by spending countless hours along pond shores, piers, and rocky jetties. Once I started venturing out on a boat, the fish of Wolf River and Portage Bayou quickly became my primary focus—especially after I learned to tow the boat to the launch all on my own! Encouraged by my supportive parents to pursue higher education, I enrolled at Mississippi State University, where I majored in Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture. It was the perfect fit for someone deeply passionate about the outdoors.
In 2020, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and then continued my academic path in the fall by joining the coastal science master’s program at the University of Southern Mississippi. This step brought me closer to the waters I cherish and allowed me to refine both my fishing and naturalist abilities. My master’s research focused on marsh grass and how the design and construction of piers impact its growth and sustainability.
After completing my master’s degree in 2022, I began working as a Shrimp and Crab scientist with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. This role enabled me to advocate for the abundant natural resources and the vibrant fishing communities of Mississippi. By spring 2025, I transitioned to guiding full-time, eager to share the unique coastal adventures of the Mississippi Gulf Coast with others. I offer flexible start locations to ensure your experience is tailored to your needs.
