I am an Extension Horticultural Specialist and am part of the UW Plant Diagnostic Team. Our goal is to help stakeholders across Wyoming solve their horticultural problems. I have a strong interest in small fruits and vegetables and look forward to collaborating with small producers and homeowners across Wyoming.

I run an extension and teaching horticulture program. My main responsibility is managing the ACRES Student Farm. I collaborate with UW students, community gardens, and schools across Wyoming. One part of ACRES’ mission is to work with students solving horticultural production issues, as well as determining value-added uses for their harvests. I was an elementary school teacher for 20 years and worked as the STEM teacher and Science Literacy Specialist where I developed our School Garden to Table program. Developing school gardens in Wyoming is an area I will be focusing on.
