Thanks for navigating to my page!

 

I am a marine biologist investigating animal magnetic navigation. I’m interested in how environmental changes affect animal learning, behavior, and sensory processes. I am currently a PhD candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying how loggerhead sea turtles navigate using earth’s magnetic field, despite a changing geomagnetic field. 

 

I also conduct research in STEM outreach, and I’m passionate about inclusivity in STEM and accessibility to biological field work. I’m a nature nerd and a sea turtle lover: a hiker, a runner, a biker, there’s so much to discover! I also love to cook, garden, and write silly short poems.
