University of California, Santa Barbara Ph.D. Candidate
Santa Barbara, CA
I am an Afro-Latina Marine Biologist & Media Maker (Performance & Film) at UC Santa Barbara who investigates the effects of marine heatwaves on fisheries species. I use my cultural and artistic lens to make nature more accessible via media-based education programs. I am passionate about connecting with the public to improve our relationship with our blue backyards.
