Miehls’ appointment is an integral part of FMC’s expanding presence in the Turf & Ornamental market. She replaces Corbett Schnatmeyer, who moved from the West Coast to cover the Turf & Ornamental market in the Northeast after Allan Dufoe was named to the newly created position of Turf & Ornamental key account manager and nursery and greenhouse market lead.
A recent graduate of the University of California, Riverside, Miehls holds a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and a master’s degree in plant biology. She conducted her thesis project on salinity and water management of perennial ryegrass. A California native, she currently resides in Anaheim.
“Alea has a solid background in turf and ornamental science and a passion for working in the industry,” said Maureen Thompson, business manager for FMC Turf & Ornamental Solutions. “She is a welcome addition to our team.”
