About
Originally from SoCal, I grew up fascinated by marine biology, specifically shark science. I followed this passion through my undergrad and am currently working on my Master’s thesis on Neurocrania Morphology of shark taxa as it relates to species ecology. My other interests include scuba diving, Pokken Tournament and pitbulls.
I am currently a research assistant at DePaul University in the Shimada Lab. My research focuses on the morphology of shark neurocrania (both extant and extinct groups) in relation to their ecology.
I graduated from UCSD with a Bachelor’s in Marine Biology.
