Lifelong marine biology enthusiast, current marine conservation masters student looking to shed light on the ecological mysteries surrounding whale sharks and other species in order to help humanity and nature to better coexist. Whale shark experiences and encounters in Utila, Honduras in 2016 have stuck with me and inspired further investigations into how whale sharks are able to opportunistically feed on baitfish as well as other ecological phenomena. Whale sharks became a focus thanks to their natural beauty and ability to introduce people from all backgrounds to the wonders of the ocean.
