Dr. Sandler is an Extension Professor in the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and Director of the UMass Cranberry Station in East Wareham, MA. She provides leadership for the development, coordination and delivery of activities related to the adoption and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) for specialty crops in Massachusetts. Dr. Sandler began her science career working in citrus pathology at IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred, FL. Currently, she addresses the Weed Science needs for cranberry and small fruit growers in the U.S. and Canada. Her research interests include an ecosystem approach to the management of perennial weeds and dodder, agrivoltaics (dual-use solar energy) and the use of
unmanned aerial vehicles for pest monitoring and herbicide applications. In her role in Extension, Dr. Sandler translated and edited a 300-page identification guide for weeds in cranberry and led a resistance management education team whose learning module won an award from the National Association of County Ag Agents.

Service to discipline has always been a mainstay of Dr. Sandler’s career. She served as Secretary for WSSA (2016-2018). She has been an Associate Editor for Weed Science since 2009, chaired the WSSA Graduate Student Awards Committee, and served on the WSSA Science Policy, Publications Board, Officer and Outstanding Graduate Student Nomination, Website Development, and Strategic Plan Committees.

Dr. Sandler’s commitment to service to the Northeastern Weed Science Society was recognized when she received the NEWSS Fellow Award in 2017. She was an elected officer for NEWSS (2008-2012), served as the NEWSS representative for CAST, and remains active as co-chair of the Endowment Committee and serves on various judging panels. One of her favorite activities is volunteering at the summer weeds contest. She recently chaired the NEWSS Futures Committee, which reviewed the organization’s structure and authored a suite of recommendations for the Board.

Dr. Sandler received NEWSS Outstanding Educator of the Year Award in 2019, an award seldom presented to Extension weed scientists.

Dr. Sandler has been IPM Coordinator for Massachusetts since 2013, chaired the regional group and represented Northeastern IPM Coordinators at the national level. She has also served on the grant review panel for the Western IPM Center for the past 3 years and served on the advisory panel for the Northeastern IPM Center.

Dr. Sandler received her Ph.D in Plant and Soil Sciences from UMass-Amherst in 2004, her M.S. in Plant Pathology from University of Delaware in 1983 and her B.S. in Biology and Environmental Science from
University of Pennsylvania in 1981. For relaxation, she enjoys walking and napping with her two retired greyhound racers. Dr. Sandler is excited to be nominated and to have an opportunity to continue her Weed Science service as WSSA Vice-President and beyond.
