I recently graduated with a masters degree in Marine Science from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. I am now working as an research fellow at the US Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC, where I focus on surface water quality concerns. My masters research evaluated the impacts of elevated salinity on bald cypress growing in forested freshwater tidal wetlands along the coast of North Carolina. In my free time, I love to travel, hike, read, and rock climb.
