I am currently an undergraduate student at UC San Diego majoring in Environmental Systems: Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution and minoring in Education Studies. While volunteering at the Deheyn Lab, I have been assisting with research on the impact of light exposure to sea anemone fluorescence as well as their viability as an indicator of coastal water health. My current research involves exposing corals to microfibers commonly found in the oceans to observe the health impacts and changes in fluorescence faced as a result of this contamination.
