I realized engineering offers me more opportunities than biology does.

My grandparents exposed me to fishing, clamming, crabbing, boating, and a life on the water. Through these experiences, I learned to be curious and self-sufficient.

Believe in yourself and realize you are capable of doing anything and everything that you put your mind and spirit into. Also, have fun along the way!

B.S. in environmental policy, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. I received my engineering training at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
