I am a growing scientist and artist pursuing a career that combines ecological research and creative communication. Currently, I study at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida. Recently, I finished earning my B.S. General Biology and B.A. Studio Art. Starting Fall 2024, I am working toward my M.S. Environmental Science while working as the institution’s Conservation Graduate Assistant. Ultimately, I hope to earn a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and focus my thesis on conservation-related issues.
Throughout my time in university, I have focused heavily on constant involvement in research across multiple disciplines. The projects of which I am most proud are the development of a conservation program plan for my university and the design of an electronic sculpture which communicates data from an environmental study. I had the honor of presenting at and being published by the 2022 International Symposium on Electronic Art for my work in data visualization with my mentor Thomas Asmuth, an electronic artist.
As I move on from my undergraduate career, I aim to gain experience in ecological field work and build connections among both my disciplines. I am extremely interested in building connections and embarking on new collaborative projects. If you have any similar interests, please contact me via email! I look forward to speaking with you and exploring new ideas.
