At the age of 6 I knew I was going to be a marine biologist. Since then I've learned to SCUBA dive, completed a bachelors in marine sciences and biology at the University of Miami, and a masters in coral reef ecology at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI).
Now I'm a full time researcher and technical SCUBA diver at UVI. My work focuses on exploration, description, and monitoring of coral reefs in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), the greater Caribbean, and the tropical eastern Pacific. My primary focus is the study of mesophotic coral ecosystems--coral reefs that exist between 100 and 400 feet deep.
