Fabiano Mayrink Isenhour

Professor of Biological Sciences with a focus on plants and botany

I am a professor and a plant biologist passionate about natural history. I grew up in Brazil and now live and teach in Florida, USA. I lecture Botany (BOT 2010C), Plant Physiology (BOT 2510C), and Ethnobotany (BOT 2800). Other courses I've taught include Plant Pathology (PLP 2001C) and Biological Sciences (BSC 1005). To learn more about who I am, please follow my Instagram @biologyofplants

I have a bachelor's degree in Education with a concentration in Biological Sciences. I also have an academic master's degree in Plant Biology concentration in Plant Physiology. I'm a Valencia College Associate Professor and have worked on the West Campus since 2018 as an adjunct (part-time) professor.

Plant science is an extremely valuable field of expertise since fauna and humanity have depended on plants for survival for hundreds of years. If you also like Biology but are interested in plants instead of animals and seeking an associate degree, you might be interested in an associate degree in Plant Sciences.

You will find a perfect place to start if you live in Central Florida at Valencia College. You can choose from an associate in arts or an associate in sciences. Further, I suggest taking a look into these degree pathways.

Plant Science Degree Pathway.
Plant Science and Agricultural Technology Pathway.
Biotechnology Laboratory Sciences

Looking to transfer to a university for a bachelor's degree after earning an associate degree? In that case, the Valencia College Plant Sciences track will put you in the right direction for either the following:

University of Central Florida (UCF) Plant Sciences track
University of Florida (UF) Plant Sciences track

First, however, I encourage you to consider applying for Undergraduate Research while here at Valencia College. Check for more details on my website under the link about undergraduate research. As scientific education is one of the foundations of higher education, it is important to take this path along with your major.

I truly hope our botanical friends find a way into your heart, mind, and spirit!

Sincerely,
Fabiano.
