As a dedicated marine and sustainability science professional and scuba diving instructor with a passion for education. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science and Sustainability Studies from Stony Brook University, where I also minored in Environmental Engineering and Ecosystems and Human Impact. A deep commitment to understanding the natural and social sciences has shaped my academic career.

I have researched fields ranging from isotope geochemistry to marine conservation, and I've worked on projects involving ArcGIS analysis, PFAS decontamination, and blue-green algae monitoring. I was also the editor and curator for the book Forever Wild, published by Barnes & Noble Press.

Beyond the science, I've led campus sustainability initiatives and taught peers as a Teaching Assistant in environmental philosophy. My most recent roles have involved scuba diving instruction, where I've certified over 50 students ages 10-65 and received the Elite Instructor Rating for the year 2025.
