UCCE Ventura County/Hansen Agricultural REC Welcome New Director
The University of California Cooperative Extension Ventura County and the Hansen Agricultural Research and Extension Center welcome County Director ANNEMIEK SCHILDER
Annemiek is a descendant of a long line of Westfriesian dairy farmers in the northwest of The Netherlands. Her grandfather, who farmed well into his 90's, inspired her to follow a career in agriculture. She did undergraduate studies in Agronomy at the University of University of Louisiana in Lafayette, Louisiana. After obtaining her B.S. degree and an appreciation of the Cajun culture, she studied Plant Sciences at Wageningen Agricultural University in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Subsequently, she obtained her MS and PhD degrees in Plant Pathology at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY while wandering the wheat fields of upstate New York in search of fungal and viral diseases. She then moved to Nigeria, Africa, fulfilling a long-time dream to work in agricultural development and spent three years as a at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture researching legume and cassava diseases, seed health, and plant quarantine issues
Annemiek comes to us from Michigan State University where she was an Associate Professor in the Plant Pathology department. Her knowledge and optimism makes her a great addition to both the UCCE and REC.
