About

I am currently pursuing an M.S in Marine Studies at the University of Auckland. I am a graduate of the University of Oregon with a B.S. in Marine Biology and minors in Chemistry, Environmental Studies, and Philosophy. While at Oregon, I attended the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Coos Bay. My interest in Marine Biology/Ecology and the environment stems from the increasing effect of Climate Change, and the cascading effects it has on ecosystems. I look forward to connecting.
