About

Currently, I am serving as the Associate Chair for Academics and the Director for the M.S. in Agronomy Program. Additionally, I am teaching several classes: AGRON1810 Introduction to Crop Science, AGRON3100 Professional Internship in Agronomy, and AGRON4960 Agricultural Systems of New Zealand.  I also advise undergraduate and graduate students.

My research interests include sustainable agriculture, the production and management of alternative cropping systems, and agronomic education. I am interested in cooperative learning where the classroom becomes a place to learn in a personal, non-competitive environment, to develop understandings and/or skills, and to celebrate learning.
