Afterward, she worked for several years with Cornell Cooperative Extension as the Apple and Grape Specialist for Northeastern NY in the Champlain Valley, providing programming to support growers in this region. She earned her PhD in Plant Pathology at Cornell University at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva, New York, where her work focused on the sustainable management of fire blight.
