I am a PhD student at the University of California, Davis and the Bodega Marine Laboratory studying the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems. Specifically, I use different experimental approaches and molecular methods to discover how marine animals are responding to increased stress from global change. As an undergraduate, I conducted an independent project on the depth variation of environmental DNA (eDNA), and I am excited to continue to investigate how we can use eDNA to better inform conservation of our vital ecosystems.
