About Me
Since I was 5 years old, I knew I wanted to be a marine biologist and study our oceans' whales and dolphins.
Originally from New Jersey, USA, I've lived, studied, and worked in Maine, North Carolina, California, Florida, Australia, and Canada!
When I'm not doing research, I enjoy playing team sports, including volleyball, kickball, softball, and ultimate frisbee. I am currently an assistant coach for the UNB Saint John Women's Volleyball team.
In addition, I enjoy writing, sketching, arts & crafts, hiking, horse-back riding, rock climbing, and other outdoor activities.
