Biography

Plant pathology has been an important component of my career, both in plant production and research. Prior to joining the Department of Horticultural Science in 2023, I worked as the head of plant production at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in Boston, MA. I acted in a similar capacity at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL. Research experiences include working as a lab manager for the Department of Biology at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, MA, and as a research assistant at GardenGenetics, a plant breeding company in Bellefonte, PA.

Research

I am investigating best management practices for red star rust, including apple cultivar and breeding germplasm susceptibility and fungicide efficacy. I am also working on the disease response of current breeding lines to apple scab.
