I currently work as an animal husbandry assistant to monitor and take care of various corals and Aiptasia anemones. As a science nerd and avid animal lover, I joined Dr. Barott’s lab to learn more about these aquatic organisms and their importance in research on symbiotic relationships, climate change and the effects of ocean acidification on marine life.
After completing my undergraduate degree in Biology with minors in Chemistry and French, I plan on attending veterinary school to obtain my VMD with the possibility of further career specialization pending additional experience in different fields, such as zoo medicine, agricultural medicine, and small animal specialty areas.
When not in class or doing homework, you can find me watching movies, Game of Thrones, or rehearsing for United Percussion, a WGI world-class independent percussion ensemble.
