Executive Staff Manager

Cassidy Kanyo

Cassie has been a huge fisher for as long as she can remember. She grew up learning to fish from her dad, grandma, and great grandpa. In recent years she has started dipping her toes into hunting. Her boyfriend is an avid Waterfowl and turkey hunter and he has started getting her into it. The adrenalin you get when you have birds flying overhead is a different feeling then fishing brings. She is learning how to live off the land and how to properly use every animal and every part of possible of the animal that she pulls the trigger on. Her goal is to teach people how fishing, hunting, and gathering are good for the environment and how they play a role in conservation while also keeping your freezers full for you and your family!

Our Personal Representatives

Megan Lockwood

Ohio

Born and raised in the thumb of Michigan. That’s where my love of the outdoors started. As a young girl my mom would take my siblings and I tent camping and fishing, she wouldn’t touch the worms so I would bait all the hooks. She enrolled me in shooting sports for 4-H when I was 10! My love for archery grew into a passion for bow hunting. I harvested my first whitetail at the age of 15, a small yearling 5pt with my bow, hook, line, sinker! I started trapping at the age of 12. First started out as nuisance trapping on our family beef farm, then turned into running fur lines before and after school. I perused trapping hard and continue to do so! This year I was part of the first annual SheSide addition to the NTA at the national convention in Lima, Ohio. I was able to provide a demo on muskrat trapping to fellow trappers. I’m going into my 20th season this year as a fur harvester. I relocated to Cincinnati in 2018, where I now own and run a Wild Removal Company. I get to trap 365 days a year. It is through my passion of trapping I now am able to educate the public on common fur bearers who become nuisance in urban areas! Trapping is my favorite outdoor activity. I was lucky enough to trap my first otter in 2021. Another thing about me is I love to travel, and by traveling I mean bow hunt all over our precious nation. From Long Island, New York hunting Atlantic Brandt to Boise, Idaho chasing mule deer, I have been blessed with out a doubt on harvesting some of my bucket list animals. My favorite animal to chase would be spring bear in Idaho! On my first bear hunt ever, l on the first day we saw 16 bears. My future plans for myself in the outdoors is to bring more women into these sports. To show that it isn’t impossible to try new things like archery or setting a leg hold for a coyote. It just takes a spark of interest. I hope to expand my reach to woman all over and help instill a passion for the outdoors in their hearts to pass down their own knowledge and teachings to future generations of outdoors people!

Megan Amersheck

Kansas

Megan lives in Pittsburg, Kansas, and has built her life around a true passion for the outdoors. An avid hunter, she enjoys pursuing deer, turkey, dove, goose, and duck throughout the changing seasons. When she’s not in the field, you’ll find her preparing for the next hunt, whether it’s dialing in her bow, scouting new spots, or spending time on the water fishing for bluegill, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass.

For Megan, the outdoors is more than a hobby; it’s a way of life that has taught her discipline, patience, and respect for nature. She especially enjoys being part of the Women of the Wild community, where she can connect with other women who share the same passion, while also helping new hunters build confidence and skills in the field. As a Lead PR, Megan uses her voice and experience to encourage others to step outside their comfort zone and embrace the adventures waiting for them.

Looking ahead, one of Megan’s bucket list goals is to go on an Axis deer hunt, a challenge she’s eager to take on. Until then, she continues to grow her skills and share her outdoor journey with others. You can follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok at @KansasHuntress123, where she documents her hunts, fishing trips, and love for the wild.

Aubree Anderson

New York

Aubree Anderson is a 30 year old nurse from Schenectady, NY. Born in Washington State she moved to 9 states as a child and young adult. After her divorce at 25 years young she moved to New York to be close to her family and really began to dig into her love of being outside. She is a mother of two, stepmother to two more and absolutely loves being outdoors with her family! Aubree has always loved the outdoors and learning about her surroundings. Aside from trapping which has recently become one of her more enjoyable hobbies she also loves fishing, hunting, and enjoys hiking in the Adirondack mountains where she one day hopes to complete the Adirondack 46er challenge. At home Aubree enjoys beekeeping and tending to her chickens. One day she hopes to have a small farm with her family where she can trap and hunt right out of her own backyard.Trapping came to her when she met her significant other Casey in 2019. She observed for that first year and has loved it ever since. Aubree has learned most of her knowledge of trapping from watching demos and asking many questions at the booths at the conventions as well as trial and error which seems to be her most enjoyable way to learn. In 2020 she set her first traps in the ground running a small line with her family for their local farmers and came up with three coyotes from that line of just 6 traps. This was when it came to fruition that Aubree really enjoys fur handling. She doubled her numbers in 2021 catching 7 furbearers including her first opossum.2022 she trapped many firsts getting her first racoon, first Grey Fox, and first out of state trapping experience when she ventured to Nebraska with a small group of ladies. Her favorite part of trapping is experimenting with new sets, locations, bait/lure combinations, and fur handling most of all. Aubree aspires to one day have a fur creations business as well as a nuisance trapping business in her local area. Aubree really enjoys sharing her love of trapping with others. She has shared this passion with her children who have been on the line with her these last 4 years. She has plans in the near future to get involved setting up workshops and getting her education course certification under way so she can become more involved with introducing trapping to young minds in her community.

Ambassadors

Linda White- Ambassador, New York

From a young age Linda had enjoyed fishing, camping and other outdoor actives with her father, but trapping never made it on the list. Trapping for Linda started as a ride along, this was a passion of Michael's and she enjoyed spending time with him. Slowly she found herself not just riding along because of him , but because it became a passion of hers as well. Running her own line changed so much for Linda and opened her eyes to what a challenge trapping could be for a women because so much was made to accommodate then men in the sport. Since then Linda has made it her mission to give women a voice in trapping and the outdoors. She runs different events throughout the USA, sits on National Boards, and writes for different magazines to help accomplish that goal.

Jenny,

She’s a proud wife of 16 years and mom to two young children — a family that shares her appreciation for hard work, adventure, and the outdoors.

If she’s not hunting or fishing, you can probably find her on the golf course enjoying a little friendly competition. Fishing has been part of Jenny’s life for as long as she can remember, but she picked up hunting just a few years ago — with her very first hunt being with Women of the Wild!

Living near Lake Michigan gives Jenny incredible opportunities to pursue her passion. Each summer, she competes in several women’s salmon tournaments, and when she’s not chasing salmon, she’s reeling in walleye on Saginaw Bay or exploring new waters and trails across the country.

Reggie Tomarski- Ambassador, Michigan

By choice, she is a devoted outdoorswoman, spending her falls pursuing waterfowl, big game, and upland birds, often with her two scruffy Wirehaired Griffons by her side. Her life reflects adventure, grit, and a deep love for the wild.

Reggie’s personality blends resilience with humor an Aries who jokes about enjoying long walks on the beach when she’s not deep in the woods, and someone who never turns down a classic old western. She thrives on the balance between adrenaline-fueled days in the field and the quiet moments that only the outdoors can bring.

One of Reggie’s greatest passions is mentoring women who are new to the hunting world. She finds true joy in teaching skills, fostering confidence, and watching friendships form in the field. For her, being part of Women of the Wild means more than representing the outdoors, it’s about creating opportunities and helping others discover their own strength in nature. Reggie is excited to bring her fire, passion, and authenticity to the heart of the community.

Allie Ray – Ambassador, Michigan
