I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego working towards a BS in Environmental Systems: Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution, along with dual minors in Marine Sciences and History. I have been volunteering with the Deheyn Lab for over two years and have helped on projects focusing on ecotoxicology and the impacts of effluent medications on marine life, the affects on pH variation on bioluminescence of brittle stars, and the environmental implications of continued use of microplastics and fibers. I am looking forward to continuing my work at the lab and completing more projects in the future!
