I fell in love with marine biology at a young age when I found my very first shark tooth. After taking an Environmental Science class in high school where I learned about the threats faced by the sea and its impact on the terrestrial environment, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a career. Participation in the Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) will allow me to develop the necessary leadership and advocacy skills to make a significant contribution to the field both academically and in my chosen profession.
