Columbus, Nebraska

I am the reserach coordinator for DNA Genetics and Pillen Family Farms. I recently completed my Ph.D. at Kansas State University, studying male reproductive physiology. I am originally from Central Montana and worked for ORIgen Beef Inc. as a lab technician for several years, which helped develop my male fertility passion. My research interests are investigating various boar management strategies to improve semen production, but I work with a wide spectrum of reserach topics with DNA Genetics and Pillen Family Farms.
