About
Growing up in the beautiful Central Valley of California, I spent a lot of my time outdoors. Being inland, I didn't have easy access to the ocean, yet every opportunity I had, I visited Monterey. This is where I truly fell in love with the ocean and spent most of my early life exploring the abundant tide pools. Fast forward a few years, I am now living in Hawai'i fulling my dream. I moved here following high school to pursue a degree in Marine Biology. After completing that dream, I went on to fulfill my next, obtaining a graduate degree. During my undergraduate career, I joined an aquaculture biochemistry lab working with an endemic species. That was the best thing to ever happen because it brought me to where I am now, a first-gen Latina pursuing a graduate degree in Molecular Biology and Bioengineering, focusing on combining the magical world of biochemistry with aquaculture.
