North Carolina State University

• Apply linear mixed models to analyze Christmas tree phenotype data to find good progenies for crossbreeding
• Monitor tree populations throughout the state to adapt data collection and pest control plans to new objectives
• Study Fraser fir tree DNA to find ways to select better trees more quickly

Postdoctoral Research Scholar

The University of Georgia

- Conducted QTL analysis to find significant associations for Hessian fly resistance in biparental populations  
- Carried out GWAS on diversity panel phenotype data to find novel QTLs for resistance to different diseases
- Characterized new switchgrass genotypes from a diversity panel using chloroplast markers to develop future projects
- Supervised high school students for plant upkeep and to organize seed for experiments
- Performed fungal DNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis to document new sorghum and tall fescue diseases in Georgia
- Extracted turfgrass DNA to genotype a tall fescue mapping population and identify SSR markers associated with rust resistances

Graduate Research Assistant

Auburn University

•Mixed soil to provide an ideal environment for greenhouse peanut crops

•Collected maize, soybean, and peanut physiological data to understand crop health and treatment effects

•Prepared peanut leaves for RNA analysis to identify genetic markers and plants for drought tolerance research

•Used an LI-3100 and 6400 to compare photosynthetic data and leaf area results of different peanut treatments

•Analyzed results in R to determine optimal harvest time

- Fertilized, watered, and weeded plants for four different greenhouses to satisfy a plethora of research requirements
- Created a variety of soil mixtures to ensure a satisfactory environment for growing a range of agronomic crops
- Adapted growth management plans to the differing requests of professors and supervisors to meet end goals for their research

Laboratory Assistant

I want to help end world hunger and meet consumer needs by improving crops to withstand ever-changing problems. Having worked with corn, peanut, and wheat, I want to apply my plant science experience to farms so we all have safe food to eat, better fuel for our vehicles, and clothes. Plant breeding helps us meet these goals, and I want to put my skills to work for you.
