I am a fourth-year student at Northeastern University pursuing a BS in Marine Biology, with a minor in Journalism Practice. I am a choreographer and one of the No Limits Dance Crew Co-Presidents for the 2024-2025 academic year. I am passionate about research, fieldwork, education, and environmental conservation. I completed my first co-op at Change is Simple in Spring 2023, where I was an Environmental Mentor. I loved teaching students in K-5 schools about the environment and how they can positively impact our planet by making simple changes in their lives. I completed my second co-op in Spring 2024 in the Bowen Microbial Ecosystems Ecology Lab at the Marine Science Center (MSC) in Nahant, MA. I learned technical lab skills and completed salt marsh fieldwork while working on the Not All Nitrogen Project, which studies how different nitrogen inputs affect plants, microbes, and the salt marsh ecosystem. I was awarded the 2024 MSC Summer Research Internship for July-August 2024, and I had the opportunity to work in the Kimbro Lab on their ongoing salt marsh wrack project.
