Liz received an MS in plant breeding, genetics, and genomics from the University of Georgia in 2018. Her thesis research investigated the genetics behind soybean seed composition. She is currently a member of the Revord Nut Breeding Lab, where her research is focused on breeding improved elderberry varieties, characterizing flower and fruit development, optimizing crossing strategies, and developing genetic and genomic resources for the crop. Liz’s elderberry research also contributes to the Advancing American Elderberry Project, which seeks to address the most critical issues needed to propel American elderberry into mainstream production.
