Marine Ecology

I study interactions between marine life and seed dynamics of the global seagrass, Zostera marina. My overarching interest is the connection between an organism’s behavior and the resilience of seagrass beds.

Mentorship

My mentors were vital to my research career, so I work to help students discover their own path. I mentor USC and UNC students through their scholarship applications and resume building.

Scientific knowledge can only go so far when written in a journal. I aim to expand the impact of scientific work, my own and of those around me, into a broader community of ocean lovers. I believe art is a vital connection between field-specific research and public environmental interests.
