Research:
Identifying genes that influence aphid fitness through plant-mediated virus-induced gene silencing.
Hobbies:
Everything art, particularly music. I love to play in the concert ensembles at LSU, practice solo repertoire, sing, and play in smaller ensembles such as duets or the LSU tuba-euphonium ensemble. I also love to be out in nature and to be active outside, particularly through walking, hiking, playing soccer, or playing pickleball.
