My job is to assist our UW Extension Educators located around the state to help the people of Wyoming with their horticultural issues. I work to provide solid information and assistance on the topics of growing fruits and vegetables, native plants, trees, turf, shrubs, perennials and annual plants which support pollinators, and more.  I also am a part of the UW Plant Diagnostic Team.

I have been assisting the people of our state for over 20 years through the Barnyards & Backyards effort, teaching horticulture workshops and creating websites, publications and other educational resources.

• Master of Science; Plant Breeding/Plant Genetics, University of Wisconsin – Madison
• Bachelor of Science; Agriculture (Horticulture/Plant Science), Kansas State University, Magna Cum Laude
