Prior to coming to Tennessee she was born and raised in Florida, where a plant pathologist will never be bored. She received her B.S. and M.S. from Florida State University where she developed an interest in plant sciences and became the herbarium manager and project leader for the campus tree inventory. After receiving her M.S. she started working as a Biological Scientist at the North Florida Research and Education Center for the University of Florida, where she came to know and love plant pathology. Her dissertation, Biology of Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agent of soybean rust in Florida, introduced her to the wonders of epidemiology and how amazing it is that different factors such as hosts, vectors, and meteorological events, such as hurricanes, can influence disease development and establishment.
