Hi there!

My name’s Sebastian, and I love fish! I’m a Davis native who spent the past year monitoring fish populations on the Sac/San Joaquin Delta through the AmeriCorps Watershed Stewards Program. I also have background in herpetology from my time as an undergrad at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so if you ever see me around the lab feel free to come talk to me about rattlesnakes! Having grown up spending time on local streams like Putah Creek, I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of a lab studying fish and aquatic systems around me hometown.
