I hold a BS in Marine Biology from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where I am currently pursuing my MS in Marine Biology. I am currently studying white shark movements in the Northwestern Atlantic. My postgraduate goal is to find a field researcher coordinator position where I can continue my work with large fish and telemetry technology. I also have a passion for scientific communication within the scientific community and with the general public.My field research background includes work with Dr. Richard Brill and Dr. Peter Bushnell studying the effects of satellite tags on juvenile sandbar sharks (see Lynch et al. 2017). I also assisted Dr. Heather Marshall in her project investigating the release of heat shock proteins in stressed sharks.In addition to this academic work I received offshore experience during my time as a NEFOP Fisheries Observer with MRAG Americas, Inc. which required proficiency in fish, marine mammal, sea turtle, and sea bird identification along with otolith collection, marine mammal necropsy, and sea turtle resuscitation.I also work as the Technical Services Coordinator at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where I manage a staff of ~ 30 people serving the sound, lighting, and projection needs of student and professional events on campus.
