Community-Driven Science in a Warming World
For my PhD research, I am working with Hog Island and Tomales Bay Oyster Companies to develop strategies for improving oysters' ability to withstand temperature-driven disease outbreaks.
Public scholarship and Activism are key components of my work - I strive to clearly communicate climate and ocean science, while amplifying marginalized voices and perspectives.
Research Interests
Shellfish Aquaculture in Changing Ocean
As a PhD student at UC Davis, I am studying the effects of warming on temperature-related disease outbreaks in California oyster farms.
Public Engagement
Communicating About How climate Change Affects The Ocean and Ourselves
I write and speak about ocean + climate science, civically engaged science & the need for justice, equity, diversity & inclusion.
