Chemical Oceanography
Marine and Coastal Engineering
My background includes a BS in Oceanography with a minor in Marine Biology from the University of Washington along with a Master’s equivalence in experience. During my time in UW’s Department of Oceanography, I gained exposure to the applications of a wide variety of continuous and discrete analytical chemistry instrumentation for sampling marine environments.
I have continued to cultivate and apply these skills in my 4 years of postgraduate professional oceanographic research experience. In my current role of lead research technician, I work alongside Drs. Alex Gagnon and Julian Sachs in the UW School of Oceanography on a revolutionary ocean acidification project on a South Pacific coral atoll. My prior research efforts focused on developing proxies for environmental change through culturing and analyzing the skeletal geochemistry of the Orange Cup Coral (B. elegans), a species local to the Salish Sea, using ICP-MS techniques. These experiences have collectively allowed me to master best practices for monitoring and manipulating the chemistry in seawater as it pertains to the impacts of human society on water quality.

I have experience operating and troubleshooting alkalinity titrators, spectrophotometric pH meters, CTDs, oxygen optodes/titrators, and coulometers. I am also well-versed in conducting quality assurance and quality control analyses on environmental data through numerical and statistical modeling (e.g. MATLAB, R, ArcGIS, and Microsoft Office suite).
