Degree:

B.S. Conservation and Resource Studies, UC Berkeley (May 2024)

Research Interests:

I’m fascinated by how aquatic communities and populations respond to the challenges of
climate change. In the Ohio River, I studied sauger fecundity, analyzing how environmental
factors influence their reproduction. During my undergraduate degree, I managed a research
project in Mo’orea, French Polynesia, exploring macroinvertebrate communities in coral rubble
habitats- a truly unforgettable experience! Now, at the Fangue Fish Conservation Physiology Lab, I’m diving into optimizing
longfin smelt larviculture to support conservation of this endangered species.
