I hold a MSc Plant Protection (Nematology) focused on the degree of nematode resistance on rosemary to Meloidogyne species. After the completion of my MSc, I joined AB-InBev (SAB) as an intern of agriculture working on the research and production of malting barley in South Africa. My journey so far has been full of both hands-on experience and research. Currently, I am pursuing PhD with FABI on the impact of Eucalyptus-associated VOCs on the pathogenicity and dissemination dynamics of T. destructans under the supervision of Prof Almuth.
