About
I am a born naturalist with a Bachelors in Marine Science from NC State University. My love for the natural world began early as a child snorkeling off Grand Cayman. A busy, vibrant, water-based world below the waves was both mysterious and fascinating. I went on to become involved with study abroad research in the Bahamas, animal husbandry through The Maritime Aquarium and marine biology education with the Sea Turtle Camp. These experiences expanded my passion for marine science. Since working at the NCMNS, I have become interested in how understanding evolutionary pathways can inform conservation biology. I aspire to attend graduate school next year and inspire others to develop their own passion for marine life.
