> I have a B.S. in Plant Pathology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I raced road bikes with the University of Wisconsin Cycling Team and played violin in the Symphony Orchestra. After graduation, I worked in the Department of Plant Pathology as a laboratory assistant where I flourished, co-authoring several scientific papers.
> The University of Minnesota recruited me for an Assistant Scientist position in the Department of Plant Pathology doing fungal genetics work and field research on dry beans.
> I felt that I needed more people contact so I left my research job and entered the MEd/Initial program for science education at the University of Minnesota.
