Biography
I am a Ph.D. candidate at New Mexico State University, specializing in agronomy and cover crop research, with a strong foundation in plant science and sustainable agriculture. My research focuses on identifying the best summer cover crop species for distinct agricultural regions of New Mexico, optimizing ground coverage, and aboveground biomass production. Through greenhouse trials, I investigate the water and shade tolerance of species such as Sesbania, cowpea, and sun hemp, aiming to enhance sustainable farming practices.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am an active member of the Graduate Student Council (GSC) and have played a key role in organizing the Graduate Research & Arts Symposium (GRAS) 2024, facilitating collaboration between students and faculty judges. Beyond research, I bring leadership experience from my role as a President for GWI during the 2022-2024 years, where I have developed strong skills in administration and operations.
I am deeply passionate about agriculture, sustainability, and scientific research, striving to bridge the gap between academic innovation and real-world agricultural applications.
