When I entered the UCB I had a general interest in microbiology, but I quickly became fascinated by the study of microalgae after taking Biology of Algae with Dr. Nyogi. After graduating, I was a tech and manager for a plant pathology lab that specialized in molecular diagnostic of an organism closely related to brown algae. At UHM I intend to study algal populations to better understand how their community structures and diversity relate to the sensitivity of those populations to the changing environment.
I got my BS at UC Berkeley, spent four years teching and later managing a plant pathology lab, and am now at UH Manoa studying Biological Oceanography.
-library drone through college while working in an ecology lab focused in plant pathology with insects as disease vectors. -continued in plant pathology for 4 years after college working as a molecular biology focused lab tech and eventually became the manager. The lab specialized in sudden oak death, root and butt rot, and pine pitch canker. -currently a PhD student at the university of Hawaii at Manoa, but have yet to do field work (more on that later)
