BLOG MONTEREY

I am a Seattle native currently working toward my Master's of Science in Applied Marine and Watershed Science at California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Once completing my M.S. my goal is to become a leader in coastal resource management. My studies focus on developing cutting-edge technologies, such as GIS and remote sensing, to monitor anthropogenic and natural impacts and recommend progressive management techniques. My academic and professional experience in science communication, technology, and project management gives me a unique skill set. My innovation, dedication to my work, and commitment to learning makes me an up-and-coming leader in the environmental world. I am interested in finding work in a highly professional, collaborative and innovative environment. Please review my resume and a couple of my favorite projects I have outlined in the left hand panel.

My passion for science and exploration is complimented by my fondness for travel and the outdoors. I have an advanced SCUBA certificate and have had the opportunity to dive at some of the best sites in the world including the Blue Hole in Belize, and with whale sharks in Honduras. During my most recent adventure I traveled to the Arctic where I was able to observe one of my favorite mammals, the polar bear.

When I am not traveling or on the water, I enjoy hot yoga and escaping to my family cabin in northern Washington.
