I believe science is most meaningful when it is shared. Through teaching, hands-on experiences, and storytelling, I aim to make marine science engaging, accessible, and relevant to people from all backgrounds.
Teaching the Next Generation
As a graduate instructor at Florida Atlantic University, I introduce students to biodiversity, evolution, and laboratory science through microbiology and invertebrate zoology. I enjoy creating hands-on experiences that encourage observation, critical thinking, and curiosity.
Science Communication
Marine ecosystems are fascinating and complex, but learning about them should not require a graduate degree. I use educational content, visual storytelling, and scientific explanations to connect broader audiences with coral reefs, biodiversity, and the environmental challenges facing our oceans.
Community Outreach
I value opportunities to engage young learners and local communities through workshops, demonstrations, and informal science education. I hope to help more people see themselves as participants in science and feel empowered to explore the natural world.
Why It Matters
Protecting the ocean requires more than scientific discoveries. It requires people who understand, appreciate, and care about marine ecosystems. For me, education and outreach are essential parts of that work.

Science is for everyone, and curiosity is where it begins.
