Wendy Britton

Wendy is originally from Northwest New Jersey and has always had a passion for science and biology. While originally studying marine biology at the College of Charleston, Wendy discovered botany and embraced her love of plants. Wendy obtained her bachelor’s degree in biology at East Stroudsburg University and worked in various environmental testing laboratories before pursuing a Master’s of Agriculture degree in Horticulture. She graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1996 and worked briefly as a plug production grower among other various occupations. In 2008 Wendy began working as the project coordinator for the Cucurbit Downy Mildew Project at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. In 2017 she transitioned to Project Manager for the USDA SCRI Vegetable Grafting grant at NCSU. After 15½ years at North Carolina State University, Wendy is very excited to join the WSU Small Fruit Horticulture Team lead by Dr. Lisa Wasko DeVetter. During her free time, Wendy enjoys gardening, reading, and spending time with Ziggy, her Bernese Mountain Dog, and Decker the cat.
