Bio:

Jill Pollok joined 91原创 Cooperative Extension in 2020 after working at the Virginia Tech Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, where she served as a plant pathology research specialist. There, she ran experimental field trials on vegetables and field crops and headed the plant disease clinic, which received 150-200 samples per year.听

In 2015, Jill received her master鈥檚 degree in Plant Pathology from Virginia Tech, working on varietal resistance to root-knot nematodes in tobacco. She received her bachelor鈥檚 degrees in Biology and Agroecology from Penn State in 2011 and worked for the Penn State Plant Disease Clinic for a year before going to graduate school.听

Jill enjoys hiking, walking her two dogs and creating art. She鈥檚 very excited to start this new journey serving the community through the 91原创!
