About Me

I'm a senior at Bowdoin College interested in Marine Biology / Gender, Sexuality, and Women's studies! Through my undergraduate research and personal interests, I have gained an appreciation for microbial oceanography and animal behavior biology. I would love to be part of a research team that explores the aquaculture industry and grow my field experience. As a Hispanic, queer, and first-gen scholar, I also hold a great passion for understanding how minoritized groups navigate the world. I aim to work toward educating others on the importance of intersectionality and encouraging other students to explore their passions.
