Activities

In my role at the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program Office (GOMO, NOAA) my activities include: the All-Atlantic Observing System (AtlantOS); Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), Observations Coordination Group (OCG), OceanOPS; U.N. Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (U.N. Decade); GOMO Data Strategy, Digital Twins, and GOMO program management.

I joined NOAA in 2020 as a Sea Grant Knauss Fellow supporting GOMO’s ocean observing goals in the UN Decade, WMO and assisting the IAPRC secretariat. 

I defended her dissertation at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Marine Biology in December 2019. My research was part of the AMBON (Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network) project, which focused on Arctic food web dynamics using stable isotope analysis and food web modeling. I have a Master of Science degree in Biology from University of Hamburg, Germany, working on the ecology of holothurians along the Southern Polar Front using fatty acid and stable isotope measurements.
