pronouns: she her hers
I am broadly interested in the ecophysiology within coral reef ecosystems and how global climate change and genomic processes influence coral population dynamics for generations to come. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Dr. Hollie M. Putnam's Eco-Physiology and Environmental Epigenetics of Marine Invertebrates Lab at the University of Rhode Island. My fascination and curiosity with the underwater world, especially coral reef ecosystems, developed into an innate passion for research-based science. To preserve these invaluable ecosystems, we must bridge the gap between education, conservation, and research to convey the significance of coral reef ecosystems to the public. My passion for coral reefs is entwined with my interest in conservation and environmental justice initiatives that understand the importance of supporting STEM education and furthering policy agendas for the future of oceanic ecosystems. |
