I have 10+ years of experience in the horticultural industry and 2 years of experience in building, organizing and running startups. Currently, a Ph.D student studying the genetics of basil, I have experience in garden nurseries, research, experimental design, museum education, exhibit design, project development, startup founding and company organization. As a senior member in my research laboratory, Director of Horticulture at the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion and a founding member of Alto Farms, I have the experience necessary to mentor you in the academic, educational and private sectors.
