I received my 5-year Specialist Diploma in Agrochemistry from National Agricultural University in Ukraine and both of my graduate degrees in Soil Science from Iowa State University. I joined USDA ARS National Laboratory of Agriculture and Environment as Research Soil Scientist in January of 2022. My current research focuses on investigating how various in-field and edge-of-the-field conservation practices impact water quality.  When I am not at work, I enjoy various outdoor activities, hiking, and traveling. Together with my husband we are avid gardeners with personal record of growing 1.4lb tomato.
