At this age, you have to think long term. Focus on your career goals. Save money. Find someone who you can pray and hustle with. We can no longer afford to waste time. Focus on things that matter in the long run. Stability. Loyalty. Peace of Mind.

I was honored to present my research at the World Food Day event hosted by @GFSI_UF_IFAS . My research is anchored on IPM. To achieve food security, I emphasized the need to explore alternative pest management strategies to conventional pesticides. And I also won 1st position 😊

I extensively worked on the management of Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (MSc) work. DBM, as it is commonly known as, is the MOST notorious pest of cole crops worldwide. The pest has a high dispersal ability, multiple generations, and is highly resistant to pesticides.

I told my student I was proud of her today. She bawled. Then she said, “I’m sorry. I just feel like no one ever recognizes how hard I am trying.” Affirmation is powerful, and sometimes we are the only ones in the lives of our students who give it to them.
