About 

I am a fourth year Undergraduate Student at the University of Florida with a major in Environmental Engineering. I've always had a passion for Marine Science and research allows me the chance to combine it with engineering techniques I learn from my classes.

With the help of Christine Angelini, I have conducted an oyster restoration project at Cedar Key, Florida. The study involves analyzing how the type of substrate effects the settling of oyster spat.

I have also conducted a salt marsh survey of the Southeastern U.S. coast studying the effects of mussel aggregations on marsh species such as mud crabs and snails.
