Education

• Ph.D. in Food Science and Technology from University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1995).

Teaching interests

I have taught an extensive range of food science and food safety courses at NDSU since 1997. The main courses I have taught include MICR 453/653 Food Microbiology and SAFE 753 Food Toxicology

Research interests

I specialize in foodborne molds, mycotoxins and grain microbiology.

Other interests

I serve half-time as Assistant Dean for the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. I also serve on the leadership team for NDSU FORWARD. I am a Food Systems Leadership Institute Fellow.
