Savannah Mead \u2013 West Virginia University<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Savannah\u2019s interest in horticulture began as a child, growing up gardening with her parents and grandparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I realized in early high school that plants were just the thing that I never got tired of,<\/strong>\u201d she said. \u201cIt really fascinated me, and I never got bored working in horticulture, especially with flowers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savannah set off to WVU to earn her bachelor\u2019s degree in agriculture with the goal of working in public horticulture. However, she said an opportunity to research hormone mutations in petunias inspired her to advance her education in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t even considering graduate school until I started doing that research in my undergrad. I became so interested in the mechanics and the nitty gritty science behind it all,\u201d she said. \u201cIt really changed things for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savannah was an undergraduate teaching assistant and, now in the WVU Honors College, she is a graduate teaching assistant for general horticulture and greenhouse management. She has tutored horticulture students in degree-related courses and trains students regarding lab techniques that she uses in her floriculture research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Savannah said she sees a future in obtaining her doctorate and serving as a research and teaching professor, she is keeping her options open to the vast career opportunities that await her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are kind of at a point in time where we have to shift into a problem-solving mode to see how we can make things better in the industry,\u201d she said. \u201cI am open to the different possibilities for me, specifically in the area of sustainable floriculture. Having an emphasis on the future of this research will hopefully keep me in this industry and show others that this direction of sustainable floriculture is for the betterment of the industry and the climate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savannah said she is grateful for the opportunities AFE has given her, including the chance to attend her first industry-related conference. She was the recipient of the Altman Family Scholarship in 2023. She is excited to delve deeper into her research through the Paul Ecke, Jr. scholarship, which she said goes far beyond financial assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe scholarship is important financially, but I also think it serves as a boost of confidence. Receiving the honor shows me that what I am doing is important,\u201d she said. \u201cIt helps me feel better about the impact of my research. It inspires me to move the industry forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Bobo \u2013 North Carolina State University<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a veterinarian sciences student at Texas A&M, Jack was simply satisfying a general science credit when horticulture found him. His academic track took a turn, and he graduated with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in horticulture science before setting off to the University of Georgia to further study in the field and obtain his master\u2019s degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was during his Doctorate program at North Carolina State University (NCSU) that in 2023, Jack received the first year of the Paul Ecke, Jr. scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing a part of this scholarship and this ability to do more research has been incredible,\u201d<\/strong> said Jack, who was approved for his second year of funding this year after submitting a first-year report, a requirement for all scholarship recipients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his report, Jack noted he and the team in the Horticultural Substrates Laboratory at NCSU were approached by an entrepreneur hopeful to start a horticultural substrate manufacturing plant utilizing wood fiber in Northern California. The project allowed the researchers to discover that wood fiber from five tree species could be utilized as growing media. He said they plan to take the research further in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c2023 was an incredible year for professional growth and development,\u201d he wrote in the report. \u201cBeing able to go out and visit some growers and hear what their problems were and how we could address them, that in and of itself was more compounding than what we can do in the lab every day. To visit with those growers that utilize the exact methods of my research for their entire operation \u2014 it really shows me that I make an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the last year, Jack, who is a member of AFE\u2019s Consejo de J\u00f3venes Profesionales<\/a>,<\/strong> said he was able to present his findings of the western conifer project during the International Society of Horticultural Science Symposium on Growing Media in Quebec City, Canada. He also won first place in the ASHS Oral Floriculture Competition and second place in the Ph.D. poster competition. Additionally, he instructed a course on ornamental plant identification to undergraduate students at NCSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the most exciting things has been that earlier this year, my lab hosted a visit from AFE. I got to meet the people who chose me for this award,\u201d Jack said. \u201cThe Paul Ecke, Jr. scholarship is the first real scholarship I have ever received, so it was so formative for me because it was an outside source compounding the affirmation. It has really encouraged me to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica Brown \u2013 Michigan State University<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jessica began her academic career at Western Michigan University where she earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in biomedical science. But it was during her time there that she realized her future would take a turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI needed to fill classes, so I took a botany class. I was never into plants before, but through that class, I was recommended for a job at a commercial greenhouse in the area. I needed a job, so I took it,\u201d she said. \u201cI started there and was wowed. I was never exposed to ornamental production before. I interned for a year and a half and fell in love with floriculture.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she would go on to finish her biomedical degree, Jessica set her sights on graduate school at Michigan State University, where horticulture is her focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a graduate student, Jessica works with undergraduate students in her lab to teach them about conducting research while working together on various cut flower research projects. She has been involved in developing work schedules for undergraduate students to coordinate tasks such as harvest, data collection, and data entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her career goals include working in the commercial industry with ornamentals and\/or cut flowers as part of a research or technical team. She aspires to work in a position where she can develop solutions to the problems growers experience, where she can utilize her industry and academic experience as well as leadership skills to perhaps manage a team of floriculturists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love to find myself a part of a R&D or technical team at a horticulture company and work my way up. I also really enjoy working hands-on in the greenhouse,\u201d she said. \u201cI think I would thrive in a role that combines those two things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica said the financial assistance from the Altman Family Scholarship will be a tremendous gift to her education and research. She said it also provides an opportunity for her to make up for lost time in terms of industry learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was definitely an adjustment to switch fields. I don\u2019t have the same background as someone who went to Michigan State as an undergrad in the horticulture track,\u201d she said. \u201cI am catching up as a Master\u2019s student, but I can handle it and do so even more with the scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manjot Sidhu \u2013 Michigan State University<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When it was time for Manjot to start college, there was no question about what undergrad path she would take. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI grew up on a farm in India. Coming from a farming family, I was always familiar with how crops grow. I always had an interest in agriculture, so I went for it,\u201d<\/strong> said Manjot, who earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from Punjab Agricultural University in India. \u201cBut during that time, I worked on different side projects and developed an interest in research. I liked working with growers, and I loved working with fruits and flowers. That intrigued me. I wanted to research specialty crops. So, I decided to focus my graduate studies on horticulture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a graduate student, Manjot has had the opportunity to strengthen her leadership skills by conducting floricultural trials to study herbicide and fungicide efficacies and testing the chemicals for their phytotoxic effects on floricultural crops. Her research has enabled her to work closely with growers, greenhouses, and nurseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the financial help from the Altman Family Scholarship, Manjot plans to use the funds to purchase a statistical software license and citation manager software and attend the American Society for Horticulture Science annual conference set for September in Honolulu, Hawaii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing awarded a scholarship by the American Floral Endowment is such an honor. It adds so much value to my career just being affiliated with AFE,\u201d she said. \u201cI am so proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manjot said while she has many options for a future career, she is sure she wants to work with growers to share her research area of weed science and biology in ornamental and floricultural crops and addressing cropping, integrated weed management, and grower difficulties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the things I love most about the industry is the innovations that are coming along. There are so many integrated technological things like drones, for instance, which are helping the industry; that evolution, that growth, it is amazing,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to use that innovation along with my knowledge and my skills to help the growers. Wherever I am in my career, my focus will be on helping the growers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greta Gallina \u2013 University of Georgia<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Greta found horticulture while she was a student studying biology at the University of Florida. She enjoyed the lessons that involved plants in some of her classes. However, it was a class dedicated to plant sciences that piqued her interest in the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a child, I was always interested in plants. But I never knew what career path there would be in plant sciences,\u201d <\/strong>she said. \u201cThat class was the reason I decided to go into horticulture. I discovered there were so many different things I could do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, as a graduate student working toward a Ph.D. in horticulture at the University of Georgia, Greta focuses on ornamental plant breeding and genetics. She is grateful to be an Altman Family Scholarship recipient to help move her goals forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my research, I am hoping to do some genetic sequencing and be on the cutting edge of innovation of hibiscus research,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout her academic career, Greta has published three papers in peer-reviewed journals and two extension articles and presented at seven conferences. She said research and education are much needed in her focus area of horticulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith ornamental plants, there are so little genetic resources about them in terms of research. This is a good time to study less common plants, learn more about them, and educate others about those findings,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is definitely important to the industry that we can provide new information to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greta said her goal is to become a professor of horticulture at a research institution and continue to work in ornamental plant breeding, utilizing the skills she gained while obtaining her Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpecifically, I hope to improve various floriculture crops in both the aesthetic appeal and resistance to various stresses, including pests and environmental changes,\u201d she said. \u201cAdditionally, I hope to delve further into biotechnology research and applications in floriculture plants. I also hope to teach and provide the next generation with knowledge and practice in floriculture plant development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haramrit Gill \u2013 Texas A&M University<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Haramrit grew up with a farming background in India. Since her childhood, agriculture has been part of her life. During her bachelor\u2019s degree in agriculture at Punjab Agricultural University in India, Haramrit was introduced to farmers in a rural region of the country during a Rural Awareness Work Experience (RAWE) program where she discovered the prevalent practice of monocropping, particularly with wheat and paddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn that program, I came across many farmers who practiced wheat and paddy monocropping systems and I noted the need for diversification towards horticultural crops like vegetables, fruits, and ornamental crops,\u201d she said. \u201cI chose horticulture as my focus for my Master\u2019s degree because as I studied agriculture, I noticed crops such as wheat, rice, and forage crops have been studied extensively,\u201d <\/strong>she continued. \u201cBut there was little research on horticultural crops specifically ornamental plants.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a graduate student at Texas A&M University, Haramrit is working on the genetics of various traits such as flower color transition, fragrance, and plant height in roses. She said she is equipping herself with all the tools she can to apply her research and disseminate it globally to nursery growers to help them move forward in the industry. She is grateful to be one of the Altman Family Scholarship recipients and plans to become a member of AFE’s Young Professionals Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Haramrit wishes to become a research and extension professor of ornamental horticulture, where she can contribute to the development of sustainable ornamental plants using plant genetics, breeding methodologies, quantitative trait mapping, transcriptomic analysis, and candidate gene identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has accepted a position as an environmental horticultural advisor with the University of California Agricultural Resources to help further her experience and skills in the industry. She said the upcoming role will \u201coffer invaluable opportunities to engage with industry stakeholders, disseminate research findings, and provide expert guidance on sustainable landscaping practices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
