My journey began on the Gulf Coast of Florida, where I fell in love with the ocean. I was inspired to pursue a B.S. in Biology and a B.S. Earth and Ocean Sciences at Duke University (2018), after which I quite literally “dove” into opportunities to work and travel all over the world. Some of the highlights include aquaculture in Palau, SCUBA instruction in Indonesia and the Turks and Caicos, and environmental consulting in Hawai'i. When I’m not at work, you can find me in the ocean surfing, sailing, or taking underwater photos!
- I recently graduated from the Master of Environmental Data Science program at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
- I am currently an Ocean Health Index (OHI) fellow at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.
