 Heather Bergerud Nix received her BS in Biology from Winthrop University in 1996. Having grown up in Greenville, she set out to experience other places. First, she collected field research for the National Marine Fishery Services (NMFS) onboard commercial fishing vessels in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. Next, she worked at Glacier National Park in Whitefish, Montana, where she spent her free time hiking, cross country skiing, and snowboarding. Heather returned to Greenville in 2001 and began working for an environmental consulting firm, where she was trained in wetland and stream-bank delineation and became a Certified Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Inspector (CEPSCI). In addition, Heather assisted with the implementation of Greenville County’s Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. As the head of the Industrial Facility program, she educated industrial facilities throughout the county on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and conducted site visits to ensure facilities’ compliance with applicable permits.
Heather is thrilled to be able to use her technical knowledge and background to help further positive changes in the Upstate. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, reading and traveling.
