Short bio:
I am from Haddonfield, NJ. In high school, I played varsity lacrosse and soccer. I graduated from the University of Delaware with an Honors B.S. in Environmental Science as a Climate Scholar. My interest in Oceanography began sophomore year after learning about its connection with the climate system in an Introduction to Ocean Sciences class. My Senior Thesis was titled Vertical Motions in the Southern Ocean. I completed a summer project on this topic under Dr. Xinfeng Liang at the Lewes, DE marine campus. At Rutgers, I am advised by Dr. Javier Zavala- Garay in the Ocean Modeling Group. I am interested in the coupled ocean-atmosphere system, especially regarding vertical mixing, extreme events and the global overturning circulation.
