As of fall 2025, I am a 3rd year DVM-PhD student, focused on combining my interest in aquatic medicine with pathogen surveillance, antimicrobial resistance, and conservation. I am gaining experience in metagenomics, functional microbiome analysis, conservation medicine, statistical analysis, public science communication, and health policy.
