URM Plant Scientist Highlights – Taylor Beaulieu (she/her)

/in /by

Taylor Beaulieu (she/her) is currently a third year graduate student at UC-Riverside (UCR). She received her BS in Plant Biology from UCR and also received a minor in Education. She originally spent her undergraduate education training to become a K-12 science teacher which gave her training experience inside Riverside and Moreno Valley middle school classrooms. As a PhD candidate, she is currently working in Danelle Seymour’s lab where she is studying genetic & phenotypic diversity in Navel oranges. Specifically, she wants to understand how somatic mutations produce genetic and phenotypic diversity within an individual and among clonally-related individuals. During her short time as a graduate student she has also received several awards including the Eugena Cota-Robles Award, the Plants 3D NSF Research Traineeship Fellowship and was an honorable mention for the NSF GRFP. Taylor is also an active member of the UCR Botany mini-GSA (bGSA) and a participant of the Plants 3D seminar series.
