I hold a BS in Plant Sciences from Cornell University’s School of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In addition to academic research experiences in plant breeding and field biology, I was privileged to increase my hands-on experience through internships at a commercial farm in Oregon and at the nonprofit Native Seeds/SEARCH seed bank in Arizona. I’m also a lifelong gardener and plant enthusiast. My writing experience includes plant pathology, plant genetics, gardening techniques, and veterinary virology, and I’ve provided scientific mentoring for agricultural researchers internationally through the Gates Foundation-funded AgShare Today project.

Samples of my writing are available here.
