Nicole Bennett built her foundation in entomology at FAMU, where she gained hands-on experience in pest management and community outreach initiatives. She was actively involved in extension programs that connected scientific research with local farming communities. After graduation, Nicole joined the Cooperative Extension Service, where she now works directly with farmers, providing guidance on pest control, crop health, and sustainable agricultural practices. She organizes workshops, training sessions, and field demonstrations that help translate research into practical solutions. Nicole’s work has played a significant role in improving crop productivity and supporting small and mid-sized farms.
