I recently completed my Master of Science at the University of Victoria (UVic) studying environmental analytical chemistry. My research was based in the Applied Environmental Research Laboratories (AERL) located within Vancouver Island University (VIU). There, I developed and applied mass spectrometry techniques to study environmental pollution: quantifying pollutant concentrations in shark samples, sorption interactions between microplastics and persistent organic pollutants, and studying physicochemical properties of emerging contaminants.I completed a double major in biology and chemistry at VIU in 2021, with specializations in microbiology and environmental chemistry. I received three research scholarships funded by the NSERC USRA program and one funded by VIU, enabling four summers of undergraduate research in chemistry and biology.
