Brief Bio:
Summer graduated from UCSD with degrees in Ecology and Economics. She worked in both the public and private sectors before joining CMBC. At NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center, her research focused on the recovery of Pacific dolphin populations that were historically killed as bycatch in the tuna industry. As a Senior Associate with a San Francisco financial consulting firm, she managed project teams that worked to improve revenues and operations for hospitals. Since coming back to science and conservation at Scripps, Summer has been exploring different ideas for her thesis work. Over the past summer, she worked in Latin America on three different projects: 1) blue-footed booby seabird ecology on Isla Isabel, Mexico with the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2) artisanal fisheries bycatch of loggerhead turtles with Proyecto Caguama and Grupo Tortuguero in Baja Sur, Mexico, and 3) olive ridley turtle nesting populations and egg harvest in Ostional, Costa Rica.
