As a dedicated researcher with a PhD in Forestry Genetics, I specialise in enhancing breeding and deployment strategies for forestry species. My work with the Radiata Pine Breeding Company (RPBC) has equipped me with a strong background in quantitative genetics, statistical modeling, and data analysis, with a particular focus on genotype-by-environment interactions (GxE) and genomic data analysis.I have developed innovative frameworks for simulating the deployment of genetic gain and conducted comprehensive economic analyses of seed orchard deployment strategies. My expertise includes implementing factor analytic models to effectively manage GxE interactions. Proficient in R, I excel at analyzing and visualizing complex genomic datasets, including SNP analysis and population genetics.I view breeding as a strategic investment, and I am committed to delivering genetic gain as a return. I am enthusiastic and passionate about encouraging the next generation of scientists and advancing the forestry industry in New Zealand through cutting-edge genetic research and genomic selection techniques. With excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach, I am committed to sustainable forestry practices and fostering scientific innovation. Additionally, I am passionate about promoting the forestry industry to the public.
