Biography

I’m a young graduate student with a passion for agriculture. My research focuses on the evaluation of current disease management practices for soybean pathogens on Missouri farms.

I have a heart for science and research in agricultural development, and I believe that bringing farmers closer to scientists and researchers will help transform agriculture and food security, thereby improving productivity.
