Marine ecologist, science writer, & fish nerd

Hi there! I am a marine ecologist with a passion for conservation and outreach. I’m currently a PhD candidate in the Predator Ecology and Conservation lab at Florida International University, where I study predator/prey dynamics and movement of great hammerhead sharks. Prior to that, I received my MS from the University of North Carolina — Chapel Hill where I studied seafood mislabeling and red snapper management in the South Atlantic.

Please contact me if you want to chat, I’d love to hear from you!
