While in the Rynearson Lab, I worked at the interface between physical oceanography and marine ecology, using information from surface drifters to understand the distribution of phytoplankton in the ocean. Since graduating with a MS degree in 2010, I have been working at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc., where I do research related to ocean circulation and climate, in particular focusing on the physical processes responsible for observed changes in sea level. I recently completed my PhD in physical oceanography at GSO.
