About me!

My interest in the sciences was sparked by experiences growing up that taught me to appreciate the environment and want to protect it. I have always been a water baby and the ocean in particular has been a significant part of my life. I have seen first hand how the ocean’s ecosystem has been impacted by climate change and in turn has impacted local communities who rely on it for subsistence.
