Biography

I’m originally from a corn and soybean farm in Minnesota, USA. I received my BS from North Dakota State University where I studied cereal grain RNA viruses. I then moved to the University of Minnesota for my PhD with Dan Voytas’ group. During my PhD my research mainly focused on developing RNA viral vectors as delivery constructs for tissue-culture free gene editing as well as several other projects relating to plant synthetic biology and vector platform development.
 
I received my PhD in early 2022 and joined Giles Oldroyd’s group at the Crop Science Centre where I am working to bring high-throughput gene editing technologies to the centre and using those technologies to engineer better nutrient acquisition.
