Research Interests: I am a Ph.D. graduate student and NSF Fellow. I previously attended Florida International University where I graduated summa cum laude with a B.Sc. in marine biology. My passion for marine conservation and curiosity about microbes has led me to investigate the viruses associated with cetacean and pinniped stranding events.
Awards: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, April 2012.
