Student
Eckerd College
Winchester, Virginia
As a senior at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, I am deeply passionate about plant physiology and pathology. My internships at institutions like Michigan State University with Tom Sharkey and Berkely Walker, and currently at Cornell University with Maria Harrison, have enriched my knowledge and experience. My undergraduate research focuses on addressing the challenges of Fusarium wilt by developing functional markers to classify cultivars as resistant or susceptible. Looking ahead, I am actively exploring potential graduate school labs, eager to further immerse myself in the fascinating world of plant research and contribute to advancements in the field of plant health.
