I was born in California, raised in Switzerland, and lived in several other places along the way. I have been interested in the ocean since a trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium when I was young. Now I am persuing my Ph.D. in oceanography.

Mixotrophic protists serve a unique role in marine environments, performing both photosynthesis and phagotrophy as forms of metabolism. While mixotrophic organisms are key contributors to primary production and remineralization in several ecosystems, relatively little is known about the roles they play in trophic structure and biogeochemical cycling. Mixotrophs are hypothesized to increase trophic transfer efficiency and contribute heavily to…

In Fall 2020, I began a PhD at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in the Buck Trace Metal Biogeochemistry lab. My research focuses on the interactions between trace metal aerosols and the surface ocean, primarily in the oligotrophic gyre of the North Pacific.

Research interests include ocean color remote sensing, CubeSats, phytoplankton ecology, ocean optics, submesoscale processes, biogeochemical cycles, coral reef ecology, statistical modeling, Earth System Models and big data analysis.

My research addresses how unicellular eukaryotes (also known as protists) respond to changes in their chemical environment and the resulting implications for biogeochemical nutrient cycling in the ocean. Photosynthetic protists, in particular, play a key role in ocean biogeochemistry by converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic carbon, transferring energy to higher trophic levels and exporting organics to the deep ocean. Their growth is…
