Brief Bio:

Born and raised in landlocked Vermont, I am excited to be moving to a warmer, coastal locale. I graduated from the University of Vermont
in 2007 after receiving a B.S. in biology with a minor in chemistry. The majority of my undergraduate research was done in a microbial
geochemistry lab, studying how microbial-driven mineral reduction may cause the release of N and P to the water column of Lake
Champlain, potentially driving algal blooms. To take a break from the geochem world, I spent a summer in Mexico studying the
ecology of Eastern Pacific Green sea turtles. Additionally, while studying abroad in Stockholm, Sweden, I interned at the Beijer
International Institute of Ecological Economics, performing literature research on integrated aquaculture in the tropics and the implications
such practices have on human and coastal ecosystem health.
