Hello!  I received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Animal Science, with an emphasis in Dairy Nutrition, from the University of California, Davis.  Upon completion of my M.S. degree, I took the position of Junior Specialist in the Ruminant Nutrition Laboratory at UC Davis, where I continued to collaborate with professors and graduate students in various research projects. My work at the University allowed me to stay current with emerging issues impacting the dairy industry in California, for example issues related to care and management of animals, organic farming, genetically-modified organisms, and air and water quality issues.

As I begin my career in Cooperative Extension, I am asking for your help in building a dairy program that is suited to your needs now and in the future.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas you may have.  Better yet, invite me out to your farm and let’s talk!  I look forward to building a program that will contribute to the continued success of the California dairy industry and you, its farmers.
