Personal Statement
I am a PhD student in the Environmental Biology department at SUNY ESF interested in aquatic symbioses and microbial interactions, especially within corals. I am very interested in how climate change affects coral reefs from an ecosystem level perspective down to their tiniest occupants, as well as how these microbial and algal interactions shape reefal ecosystem services as we know them. I have a background in studying genetic diversity within sexually propagated reef restoration programs in Australia, where I was able to get involved with sharing science -- and less than optimal field conditions -- with citizen scientists, develop skills in bioinformatics, and see lots of incredible creatures. Outside of lab I enjoy making art, working out, and spending time in nature.
