I'm a 4th year Marine Biology major at Old Dominion University graduating this May (2025)! I am currently in the process of applying to pursue my Masters degree with the plan to study sea turtles! My research interests include ecology, conservation, and physiology. I currently volunteer with my local stranding response program assisting with daily care for stranded sea turtles and marine mammals as well as the facilities. As well as engaging with the public to educate them on various terrestrial and aquatic animals on display at the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center!
