Overview

I am a Weed Science/Agronomy researcher (Ph.D.) with 6+ years of applied field and greenhouse experience in specialty and perennial crops. My work focus is mostly on weed management in organic and conventional systems, with emphasis on electrical weed control (EWC), herbicide program optimization, and resistance-related questions.

My teaching experience includes leading laboratory instruction in weed management, where I taught topics such as weed identification, sprayer calibration, herbicide application technology, and integrated weed management.  I have also mentored undergraduate and graduate students in field, greenhouse, and laboratory research and developed educational videos, webinars, websites, and extension publications for agricultural audiences.
