RESEARCH INTERESTS

 

I have conducted research on plant propagation of threatened and endangered species at Volcano Rare Plant Facility since its inception in November 1993.  Prior to working for CCRT I did research in plant pathology and plant tissue culture at UHH College of Agriculture. I am the local agent for the non profit Hawaiian Silversword Foundation.
