Francie Butts My name is Francie Butts! I am so honored to be a 2025 GAEP scholarship recipient. I am currently a junior at the University of Georgia, majoring in Fisheries Management and minoring in Forestry. After college, I hope to work as a fisheries biologist for a state or federal agency like the Department of Natural Resources or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I would love to do research on migratory fish or on the effects of watershed composition and forest health on water quality!!
