My broad research interests are coral reef biology, ecology, and conservation. My dissertation research focused on coral environmental epigenetics and connections to restoration. My previous research focused on the Caribbean lionfish invasion.
I am passionate about teaching and utilizing active learning strategies in the classroom. I am also interested in curriculum development. While working at the College of the Marshall Islands, I developed a 30-credit Certificate in Marine Science.
I enjoy working with local communities through marine science outreach, as well as communicating science through social media and other communication outlets. I also strive to incorporate local capacity development in my collaborative research projects.
