Phoebe Beard: Sharing her roots
She hopes to lead by example and cultivate students’ interest in agriculture
Phoebe Beard first connected with agriculture through a farm program taught by Clemson alumni. That experience sparked her curiosity about the field and how she could reach her potential at Clemson. As an agricultural education major, she has propagated plants, crossbred plant species and cared for livestock. Now, with a semester of student teaching completed, Phoebe is eager to use her technical knowledge and instructional skills to inspire the next generation.
