I am very thankful to the Graduate College Travel Award, which supported my attendance at the 2025 American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) Conference. This premier event brought together researchers, students, and professionals from across the country, and it was an incredible opportunity to share my research work and engage with the broader horticultural science community. At the conference, I presented in two competitions: the Scholar's Ignite (Lightning Talk) and the Controlled Environment Oral Competition. I was truly honored to receive first place in both of them. Representing UD on a national platform was a proud moment, and the experience allowed me to connect with graduate students, researchers, and professors from institutions across the U.S. I learned so much about the cutting-edge work being done in horticulture.
