Her research career includes international fellowships in marine microbial ecology, working with diverse organisms and investigating their response to stress (e.g., climate change, pollution) using complex physiological, biochemical, genetic and environmental measurements. She is now excited to be working with the future stewards of our coasts and sharing some of her enthusiasm for STEM and the natural world.
