Education

B. Sc. Environmental Geology and Environmental Science and Policy, College of William & Mary, 2017

Research Interests

My research interests are diverse but focus mainly on phytoplankton ecology, biogeochemistry, and carbon cycling, specifically the biological carbon pump.

Research and Activities

Most of my research is observational oceanography with a lab culturing component. I’ve had the opportunities to conduct a great deal of field work in locations around the world. Most often this field work takes form as a research cruise in the open ocean.
