Biography

I have a background in horticulture and education. I spent several years teaching in the elementary classroom until I decided to pursue a Ph.D. in Horticulture from K-State. After graduating in 2011, my family and I spent the next 12 years away from Manhattan employed at various jobs/universities. In 2023, we had the opportunity to return to K-State and rejoin the HNR department.
