A career built around seeds, data, and continuous improvement.

My career in the seed industry began in 2008. Over the years I have worked across production, quality, applied research, seed conditioning, process design, and technology implementation, combining agronomic knowledge with data analysis and continuous improvement.

I have had the opportunity to travel to more than 25 countries to learn from different production systems, field experiences, and technologies aimed at making vegetable seed production more profitable, efficient, and consistent. I have worked with some of the world's largest seed companies and their genetic materials, identifying crop- and species-specific management requirements.

For 10 years I also managed seed-production programs supporting plant breeding, implementing directed crosses used to create new varieties. My crop experience includes melon, watermelon, squash, cucumber, tomato, pepper, eggplant, lettuce, sunflower, tomatillo, and potato. In potato, a key experience was producing true botanical seed as part of Solynta's Hybrid True Potato Seed strategy.
