Christy joined the Cornell Vegetable Program in 2001. Today, much of Christy's time is spent in the field conducting valuable research on onions, cabbage, garlic, and broccoli. She was the 2016 Excellence-in-IPM award winner and recipient of the 2018 Outstanding Accomplishments in Extension/Outreach award from Cornell CALS.
