- PhD, University of Vermont, Plant & Soil Science
BIO
I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Agriculture, Landscape, and Environment at the University of Vermont, where I also earned my Ph.D., specializing in biocontrol strategies for pheretimoid earthworms. My research focuses on the complex interactions within agricultural ecosystems, particularly soil health, sustainable pest management, and the use of entomopathogenic fungi in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). I am also interested in how these elements influence the soil microbiome to improve plant health and resilience to pests.
