Growing up in Arizona, I always dreamed of working in the marine biology field. After high school I attended Brigham Young University Hawai’i and have completed my Bachelors of Science in biology. While in university, I worked as a teaching assistant and lab assistant and spent my free time conducting beach cleanups or diving with sharks. I absolutely adore invertebrates (preferably ctenophores) but my favorite animals are killer whales. Ocean conservation became my biggest passion and I decided that I wanted to spend my career working to help marine ecosystems. I dedicate so much of my time to ocean conservation issues and am currently the Board Secretary for Orca Conservancy.

I am so excited to be working here at SeaChange! I am eager to use my experience in ocean conservation to help SeaChange as well as develop new skills in this roll to help make me a better steward for the ocean.

When I am not working you can find me out looking for salmon or whales, reading, and freediving!
