Bio

My specialties include fungal pathogens of blueberries with a focus on those causing fruit rots.
My research includes evaluating the efficacy of fungicides and cultural practices against
blueberry and other small fruit pathogens as well as cultivar susceptibility. I aim to use my
findings and skills to provide the best possible solutions for small fruit growers across North
Carolina and the Southeast.
