I am an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University San Marcos. My intellectual interests are highly interdisciplinary. My research has largely explored the characterization and response of marine communities and organisms to varying environmental conditions and interactions. Most of my work has focused on understanding planktonic communities that make up the base of the food web in the ocean. To conduct this research, I have cultivated a wide variety of expertise, incorporating computer modeling, theoretical work, method development, and field work. To begin my academic career, I earned bachelor's degrees in mathematics and biology from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I earned graduate degrees in biological oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at UCSD. I was also a postdoctoral fellow at MIT and SIO. Overall, I am enthusiastic about learning about the organisms in the ocean and providing people with authentic learning experiences so we can all increase our understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
