Fieldwork
I love fieldwork! During my dissertation, I amassed over 75 days at sea and three submersible dives on a series of research cruises to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean Sea, and the North Atlantic. I have also been both a teacher and a student in undergraduate and graduate level courses with significant field components, and have held several field-based internships.
