Starting Year: 2022

Program Specialization: Integrated Plant Biology

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Agronomy and Seed Science with a minor in Statistics from Iowa State University, where I became interested in applying data science, statistics and computational methods to agronomic data to improve the sustainability of crop production. Under Dr. Schnable, my current research focuses on understanding the interaction between genetics, the environment, and management practices of hybrid maize, with a specific focus on nitrogen use efficiency.
