About

I’m a microbial ecologists fascinated by how microbes influence agroecosystems. Currently, I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Roman-Reyna Lab at Penn State, where I study plant microbiomes and the microbial genomics of plant pathogens. In my previous work I have studied diverse agricultural systems to understand the impact of management and soil legacy on microbial communities and plant health.
