Research responsibilities

My work centers around managing trial data for both the barley and oat breeding programs. I maintain our lab databases and prepare trial summaries for both our use and public reports. 

I'm also responsible for coordinating genotyping efforts for barley, oats, and Silphium integrefolium and managing the laboratory workspace.

Additionally, I coordinate the multi-institution Winter Malting Barley Trial. 

Fun Fact

I love starting new craft projects. Sometimes I even finish them!
