Dr. Elizabeth Moore
Assistant Lecturer of Plant Sciences
Department of Plant Sciences
My family and I moved to Laramie in 2017, and I am proud to call Wyoming home. Before coming to UWYO, I spent ten years teaching in the Department of Agriculture at West Texas A&M University, including a joint appointment with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension as a Horticulture County Extension Agent.
I returned to the classroom as a student at UWYO, earning my Ph.D. in Plant Sciences
in 2022, and joined the Department of Plant Sciences faculty in 2021. I love teaching
horticultural science and plant propagation, helping students connect plant science
to the world around them.
I am grateful to be part of UWYO and to help students take the next step toward their
degrees and future professions. Go Pokes!
