@Scripps_Ocean
ABOUT MEMarine BiologistI am currently a PhD student in the Schwartzman lab, where I study the evolution of multicellularity in microbes. My research focuses on understanding the phenotypic and genotypic precursors of multicellularity as well as the trade-offs associated with this process. I am also interested in exploring the evolution and adaptation of microbes in extreme environments. Prior to this, I obtained my master’s degree in marine biology from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where my research was focused on deep sea invertebrates.
Apart from my scientific interests, I am passionate about climate policy and advocacy. I am broadly interested in ocean policy and conservation, BBNJ, and plastic pollution. I believe that there is a significant need for policy to account for the trade-offs of the green energy transition, such as the mining of valuable minerals required to build this system. In addition to this, I am passionate about advocating for voices in the global south, recognizing the disregard for not only marginalized people but also the science produced in this region. |

PORTFOLIOCOP27 delegationRecently, I attended COP27, an important event for climate negotiations. It gave me a deep understanding of the relationship between scientific research and policy-making. I witnessed firsthand how scientific evidence, policy deliberations, and impactful change are interconnected. This experience reinforced the need to incorporate robust research into policy frameworks. It also strengthened my belief that informed policy decisions can bring about transformative change.
