Goals

I am looking for a team position that will help me build a better understanding of conducting field research. Gaining experience in data collection and analysis and working with community members during a research internship will prepare me for future research not only during my education but also throughout my career as a marine scientist.

Career Interests

Eventually I hope to be leading my own research team, to enhance the scientific community’s understanding of aquatic environments and ultimately lead to preservation of the oceanic ecosystem. My specific areas of research interest include coral reef ecosystems, sharks, rays, sea turtles, and cephalopods.
