About
I am a Ph.D. student advised by Dr. Carrie Harmon and Dr. Braham Dhillon. My research focuses on improving our understanding of palm pathogen detection in Florida for efficient disease management in the landscape and nursery. Specifically, my research focuses on combining morphological and molecular tools to optimize rapid diagnosis of Fusarium wilt of palms.
I earned my B.Sc. degree in Plant Science at the University of Florida. I previously worked at the UF Plant Diagnostic Center, where I contributed to diagnosis of fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases on a wide range of plants.
