Education:

BS, Biology, 2019, University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Five College Coastal and Marine Science Certificate, 2019

Research Interests:

My primary interests lie in mechanisms of sensory perception, signaling, and the anatomy of sensory structures in marine organisms. I am still in the process of narrowing down exactly where my studies will focus, but I have previously worked on the fine structure of the skate iris using histological and behavioral techniques. I also have experience in structural neuroscience, and hope to bring techniques learned in that sphere into my research as well!
