I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, nestled between Shenanodah National Park and the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. I completed my Ph.D. in Plant Pathology at The Ohio State University studying the interaction between ash trees and the emerald ash borer beetle. I love discovering new things, through science, travel, cuisine, literature, or conversations with those around me.
