profile

I am a dedicated individual with an unwavering passion for the ocean and marine biology. Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to the vast mysteries of the sea and the incredible diversity of life it harbors. This lifelong fascination led me to pursue a major in animal science at the University of Rhode Island (URI), where I've had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge and understanding of marine ecosystems. My love for the ocean and animals has not only shaped my academic path but also fuels my commitment to making a meaningful contribution to the field.
