Sonja Brannon (M.S. Entomology) currently works as an Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Extension Agent in Fayette County, Georgia. She began her education in agriculture as a student worker for Alabama's Agricultural Museum in Dothan Alabama. She later went to Auburn University where she initially majored in wildlife. After realizing that running from wildlife wasn't what she was "cut out to do" she finally majored in Anthropology with a minor in Archaeology. During her time at Auburn she spent summers as a Park Ranger at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, an Archeological field technician in fort Mitchell Alabama and as a laboratory assistant, rearing big brown bats. After graduation she went on to pursue a Masters of Science in Entomology from the University of Kentucky (UK). Her research was focused on understanding photoperiodic induction of reproductive diapause in the Big Eyed Bug. A beneficial insect found in turf grass, ornamentals and vegetable crops. This is where she became involved in extension and realized her desire to become an extension agent. Since graduating from UK she worked as a Biological Science Technician for the United States Department of Agriculture in Tallahassee Florida, researching the Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and the insect that transmits this disease. Currently Sonja resides in Clayton county, Georgia with her daughter Courtney.
