With a significant background in water resources, Nix has led efforts to build collaborations between Extension and state agencies, local utilities, nonprofits, and businesses. Additionally, Nix has attended over 60 training classes, onboarding sessions, and webinars, including receiving certifications in: SC Adopt-A-Stream chemical/bacteria/macroinvertebrates, Extension’s Master Pond Manager, Extension’s Carolina Yards, PCPO 4-H Training, Penn State Extension’s Pond Management for Rural and Farm Pond Owners, and Penn State Extension’s Keeping Pesticides out of Groundwater.
