I'm a Senior Research Associate at the Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute (GMGI). I have been at GMGI since 2017 and have worked on a wide range of projects applying sequencing technologies to marine environmentals and organisms. Some of these include sequencing reference genomes for the American lobster (Homarus americanus), the red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus), and the Jonah crab (Cancer borealis); whole ecosystem biodiversity studies of unique marine environments (e.g. Stellwagen Bank NMS); and metagenomics/transcriptomics of the Moytirra hydrothermal vent system.
I completed my Masters in Marine Biology with Dr. Joshua Voss at FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.
