Marine Ecologist & Science Communicator
Academic Background/Interests
My interest in coral disease ecology began when I surveyed coral reefs in mainland Hawai’i with Prof. Drew Harvell. However, I’m not solely interested in corals. I have a BSc in Biological Sciences with a specialization in Marine Biology from Cornell University. At Cornell, I examined the dentition of skeletal samples of Triggerfishes and Filefishes to better understand their phylogeny with Prof. William E Bemis and Dr. Katherine E Bemis. My interests lie generally in marine ecology and biology, particularly in relation to how climate change is impacting marine ecosystems.
Find me at my next event!
I’m currently seeking my next step in marine science and/or science communication. Please contact me with any exciting opportunities!
