Ever since joining OSU, I have worked as a Research Associate in the Weed Ecology Lab in Wooster HCS. I first worked with Dr. John Cardina, and then more recently with Dr. Doug Doohan. In both positions, I have managed their labs and research on various aspects of weed biology, ecology and control in conventional and organic systems. I also help with writing manuscripts and grant applications. Last fall, I split my position 50:50 between HCS and Secrest Arboretum, and serve in a newly created position, Outreach Coordinator, for the arboretum.
When did you start working for OSU?
February 1997
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I love to cook, garden, hike and spend time in and with nature. I helped to create and continue to serve on the board of a nonprofit 501c3, the Friends of Wooster Memorial Park, which assists the City of Wooster manage Wooster Memorial Park, a 465-acre natural wooded recreation area 5 miles west of Wooster. My husband, Dan, and I also love to scuba dive when we get the chance.
