I am currently working towards my degree in Marine Biology. I have an associate's degree, diploma, and certificate in Aquaculture Technology. I have been working as a NOAA affiliate under the NOS/NCCOS/Coastal Aquaculture Siting and Sustainability program since November 2016. My interests are in marine and freshwater fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates. I also am becoming more interested in bird and insect identification.
