on plant genetic engineering in agriculture and an internship with Washington State University, where she researched tree fruit physiology in response to changing environmental conditions. After graduation, Davis plans to begin a master’s and PhD program at University of British Columbia to study plant science — specifically how high-value horticulture crops are impacted by different environmental conditions. We caught up with her to reflect more on her PLU experience.Tell us about your capstone
