About
As a coastal marine biologist with a profound passion for the ocean, I am drawn to the exploration of its diverse ecosystems and intricate processes. My fascination with reefs, coupled with a keen interest in various oceanic phenomena, drives my dedication to understanding and conserving marine environments. I firmly believe that effecting positive change for ocean health necessitates collaborative assessment and concerted efforts from all stakeholders. In pursuit of this mission, I find fulfillment in my collaboration with CIROM (Center of Investigation and Restoration of Marine Organisms), where I actively contribute to monitoring initiatives for sea urchin and coral out plantings. The prospect of furthering my expertise in oceanography through graduate studies inspires me to deepen my impact and contribute to the conservation and sustainable management of our precious marine resources.
