Summary
I have a passion for marine biology and have had previous research experience studying oscellated wrasse with the Alonzo Lab. In addition, through my internship as a research ambassador I have attained intricate knowledge on elephant seal biology and research as well as the layout of Año Nuevo state park. I have a flexible schedule, can coordinate with other researchers, and can work proficiently at any time of the day. Finally, I have an excellent attention to detail, whether analyzing video footage or working in a lab.
