Short Bio:
I grew up in South Jersey and I graduated from Rutgers with my BS in marine biology. I came in as a food science major, but quickly realized my passion lies elsewhere. I had many great opportunities in my undergraduate career, such as researching zooplankton seasonality in the Mid Atlantic Bight for my Honors College Capstone project, studying the unique region of Patagonia for a couple weeks during the winter semester, and being a part of Rutgers’ Sentinel glider mission. The culmination of my undergraduate experience sparked my interest in marine technology. I knew that the Master’s of Operational Oceanography program would be the perfect fit for me because I hope to use technology in marine science as a means to work toward a deeper understanding of climate change and potential solutions.
