Roxane Jaramillo

I currently attend San Francisco State University, as an undergraduate student pursing a degree in Marine Sciences. I am from a small town in San Diego, where I discovered my passion for marine life. I grew up on a beach where sewage runoff affects marine life and public safety, and I hope to work in my hometown to reduce and eliminate pollution. I am currently with 2024 Monterey Bay Ocean Sciences REU Program working with Dr. Birgitte McDonald for the summer in the Vertebrate Ecology Lab. This summer, I will be researching Emperor Penguin dive behaviors in the Ross Sea
