Background

I am a native of the Finger Lakes Region of Western New York State.  After graduating from the State University of New York (SUNY) College at Geneseo with a B.S. in biology in 2001 I moved to North Carolina.  At NC State University I earned my M.S. degree in plant pathology in 2004.  My thesis was titled “Biology and Epidemiology of Sclerotinia minor on Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).”  I continued on with my doctoral research at NC State University and earned my Ph.D. in plant pathology in 2007.  My dissertation title was “Improved Strategies for Controlling Sclerotinia blight of Peanut: Site-specific Disease Models and Advisory, Fungicide timing, and Pathogen Detection.”  I then moved to Oklahoma State University where I was an assistant professor of plant pathology and horticulture extension pathologist in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology from 2007-2012.  I conducted research on diseases of turfgrass, grapes, and pecans.  I joined the faculty of the Department of Plant Pathology at The University of Wisconsin-Madison in September 2012.  I was promoted to associate professor and extension plant pathologist in July 2018, and promoted again in July 2022 to professor and extension plant pathologist. I have research and management responsibilities for diseases of field crops including soybean, corn, wheat, and alfalfa.

Education

B.S., 2001, State University of New York (SUNY) Geneseo – Biology

Research

My overall research goal is to better understand the biology and epidemiology of economically important pathogens to improve disease management for sustainable food and feed production. This research is translated for the consumer and delivered through the extension arm of my program not only in Wisconsin, but also regionally, nationally and internationally. Our research influences the major agronomic commodities (corn, soybean, small grains, and alfalfa), affecting over 10 million acres of harvested crops in Wisconsin each year. These crops provided over $2.2 billion in cash receipts or about 20% of Wisconsin’s farm gate income in 2015.

Extension

My extension efforts focus on generating, evaluating, and disseminating solutions to many of the disease problems associated with field crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat and alfalfa. Information and potential solutions to disease problems are evaluated using applied research. Field studies include station and on-farm research to test epidemiological models, conduct pesticide evaluations, and improve the practical and biological understanding of various plant pathogens. I work closely with county extension agents, crop advisors, agribusinesses, and commodity groups to improve the management of the major diseases affecting field crops. I am responsible for developing disease management fact sheets, outreach courses, and electronic education resources.
