I graduated from University of California Santa Cruz with a B.S. in Marine Biology. As an undergraduate , I volunteered in Dr. Rita Mehta's elongate vertebrate lab and completed my senior thesis on the feeding behavior and maximum prey size of the California Morray Eel, Gymnothorax mordax<\/i>. While conducting my undergraduate research I was introduced to a graduate student that was studying elephant seals at A\u00f1o Nuevo, which lead me to my first field experience with marine mammals.\u00a0 After graduation I got involved with the Long Marine Lab Stranding program, where I worked as a stranding technician for a few years.\u00a0 During that time I was responsible for stranding response and necropsies of dead marine mammals and sharks in Santa Cruz county. Through my experiences I gained a foundational understanding of local pinnipeds and their ecology which sparked my curiosity about future research.<\/p>\n

Currently, I am a first year student in Dr. Gitte<\/span> McDonald's vertebrate ecology lab. My research will aim to focus on elephant seal dive behavior.\u00a0 I am also excited for the opportunity to continue my\u00a0 work with the Marine Mammal Stranding Network through graduate school in the McDonald lab.<\/p>\n
