Research
I will be beginning my Master of Science in Forestry in the Fall of 2012 as part of the Tree Improvement Program. As an undergraduate, I have been involved in a variety of research projects on topics such as transgenic American chestnuts, mycorrhizal genetics, and vernal pool ecology. Coming from a forest health background I am interested in research with applications to both ecology and forestry. I am specifically interested in research involving forest pathology, forest genetics and ecophysiology. I am very excited to start my masters at NC State and begin my research!
