The University of Georgia

- Conduct QTL analysis to find significant associations for Hessian fly resistance in biparental populations  
- Carry 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
- Supervise 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

Greenhouse Technician

Kroger

- Stocked shelves in a timely manner to continue the daily requirements of efficiency and sufficient supply
- Engaged customers to understand the ranging needs for quality customer service and desired products
- Transported large pallets and reorganized storage rooms to allow coworkers to better find products to continue stocking processes

Produce Clerk

- Conducted genetic crosses of different strains of soybean flowers to continue an ongoing experiment for the principal investigator.
- Weeded soybean fields to maintain proper soybean growth for graduate student experiments.
- Sampled soybean leaves to satisfy requirements of a postdoctoral researcher's experiment.

Field Technician

- Developed an experiment to determine how corn plants perform under nitrogen stress with reduced amounts of nitrogen fertilizer.
- Managed greenhouse plants by watering them and checking for any pathological problems.
- Packed seed envelopes for the upcoming growing season to fulfill requirements for an ongoing experiment.

Undergraduate Researcher

- Assisted in pollinating corn crops.
- Made GPS mappings of different crops using Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Google Earth, and Google My Maps.
- Assisted in managing a greenhouse with multiple corn varieties.

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.
