About
I started as a research volunteer in the Bourdeau lab focused on sea star wasting monitoring and sea star intraspecific morphological changes. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Humboldt State University in 2018. After, I became a field technician for MARINe and pursued an MS in the Burnaford Lab focused on kelp community ecology in southern California and Northern Washington in collaboration with University of Washington. I completed a Masters of Science from CSU Fullerton in 2021. I also completed an REU internship at Oregon State University in 2017 with Sarah Henkel, who's lab I returned to pursue a PhD. For my PhD, I studied kelp ecology specifically in Oregon intertidal kelps and how their physiology is impacted by marine heatwaves and how their fluctuating presence in the intertidal impacts the rest of the community. I defended my PhD in April 2026 and am now a full time instructor at Jefferson Community College.
