Research and Education Interests:

As a trained marine organic biogeochemist and the Environmental Education Coordinator at the PEARL, my research interests are two-fold: coastal carbon cycling and STEM education.

Coastal Carbon Cycling: My research interests in coastal carbon cycling include: quantifying the concentrations and fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in coastal environments; identifying the sources of POC and DOC in coastal environments; and training a new generation of marine organic biogeochemists.

STEM Education: My interest in STEM Education focuses on introducing diverse audiences to marine and environmental science topics, developing and implementing inclusive and accessible marine and environmental science programming for all ages, and creating research opportunities for diverse cohorts of undergraduate students. 

Specific research interests include:

• Coastal Carbon cycling
• Marine organic biogeochemistry
• STEM Education
