I work in the Dahlquist lab at Loyola Marymount University. I learned about OpenWetWare from my mentor and advisor, Dr. Kam Dahlquist, and I've joined to work on Dr. Dahlquist's GRNmap project.
Education
- Biology Major, Applied Mathematics Minor
- Expected to graduate from LMU in 2018
- Upper Division Biology Courses Taken: BioStatistics.
Career Interests and Goals
- Interested in the application of mathematics to aid in the understanding of biological processes
Research experience:
Predator and Prey Availability: A study of the Impact of Prey Accessibility and Watershed Conditions on the Growth Rates of Subyearling Chinook Salmon in the Salish Sea
- Mentor- Dr. David Beauchamp, PhD., University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences
- Presentations/Publications: Presented at the ACE Undergraduate Research Symposium on November 20, 2015
Work Experience
Summer Intern at the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences May 2015 – August 2015
- Worked as a research assistant and intern in the Beuachamp Lab of The University of Washington’s School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences as a part of the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project.
- Conducted research on projected growth rates of juvenile Chinook salmon related to their survival rates in the Salish Sea based off of their diet composition and scale size.
- Performed a variety of lab tasks including dissection and analysis of diet samples, dissection of sub-yearling Chinook salmon, handling of research equipment, participation in fieldwork in Lake Washington and Puget Sound, and use of excel and R to conduct data analyses.
- Preliminary analyses show different watersheds have different prey availabilities and thus different potentials and trajectories for growth. Analyses also show hatchery raised and wild Chinook may have significant differences in diets initially in the offshore life stage
Summer Intern at Brightwater Environment Education and Community Center July 1, 2013- August 30, 2013
- Worked as a high school intern for the environmental education center at the Brightwater wastewater treatment plant, part of Washington State’s King County Wastewater Treatment Division
- Performed a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: reformatting of educational materials, creating educational displays, helping at open house events, creating brochures for the center, observing and helping in summer camps and building trails.
