I graduated from UCSB with a BA in Environmental Studies in 2005 with honors and distinction in the major. I did my senior thesis on wildlife rehabilitation based on my experiences as an intern at the Wildlife Care Network. After spending a few months practicing permaculture in Costa Rica and traveling I got a job sorting in the benthic lab. While I did have a great time and learned a lot, it wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do.

So I decided to do a Masters at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I graduated in 2007 with an MS in Environmental Sustainability with distinction. Some of the classes I took included Environmental Impact Assessments, Project Assessment, Land-use/Environment Interactions and Atmospheric Quality and Global Change. I wrote my dissertation on energy efficiency in the Private Rental Sector in Edinburgh.

I am currently working at the Marine Lab doing a number of things. For the benthic lab I’m gathering datasets done over the past 35 years to be put in a database, I’m updating the website and I’m helping with research on a number of issues that will be published. I’m also working with the habitat restoration crew with the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) and other various restoration projects and report writing that is being done.
