I obtained my undergraduate degree in meteorology at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL. Currently, I am a masters student at North Carolina State University. My primary field of research is trying to understand the role of phytoplankton in the earth's atmospheric system (i.e. SOA formed by emitted VOC species and possible feedback mechanisms). Specificly, I am looking at different stress factors (light and temperature) and their effect on phytoplankon emissions of VOCs and halogenated compounds. After graduation, I plan to pursure a career in the private consulting industry.
