Biography
I am a graduate of our department and received my master's degree in Plant Pathology in 2021. I worked with Dean Malvick studying the distribution and survival strategies of Fusarium virguliforme, the fungal pathogen responsible for soybean sudden death syndrome. Before attending the UMN, I received my bachelor's degree in Biology from Clarion University of Pennsylvania and was working for the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department at the Green Mountain Conservation Camp.
I organize and teach many of the lab courses within our department. This includes maintaining collections and plants for educational purposes. I also organize and develop outreach programming for various events throughout the year.
Outside of work, I like to go camping up north, hiking with my foxhound, gardening, mushroom hunting, and exploring the twin cities.
