Job Description: Hi!! I am currently working towards my Master's Degree in the Department of Crop Science under the direction of Dr. Noah Ranells, along with Dr. Dory Franklin, Dr. Jim Green, and Dr. Matt Poore. My research at the Lake Wheeler Field Laboratory consists of quantifying sediment, nutrient, and pathogen loads in runoff from riparian pasture plots with varying degrees of cover. I am planning on finishing my degree in May of 2004. Future plans include pursuing a Ph. D. degree in grazing ecology, water quality, or a related field.
