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.
