Marine Biology is one of my top subjects! I received my B.Sc. in Biology with a marine emphasis in 2012 with an overall gpa of 3.7. I have conducted marine science research with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (La Jolla, CA), the Shannon Point Marine Center (Anacortes, WA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, La Jolla, CA). I worked for NOAA for a year in a marine mammal genetics lab following graduation from university. While in school, I was a TA for a Marine Invertebrate Zoology and a Marine Vertebrate Zoology course. I tutored marine science students for 2 years.
Studied marine biology for 4 years at university, completing three summer research programs with three well-known marine institutions. During the summer of 2010, I interned with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography creating 3-dimensional models of an endangered species of coral (Acropora palmata) in order to gain better estimates of surface area. The summer of 2011 I spent conducting an AAUS (scientific diving) internship in Anacortes, Washington, at the Shannon Point Marine Center, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). My work that summer involved finding a better method using SCUBA to monitor 6 outplant sites of juvenile pinto abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana). The fall and spring of 2012/2013 I spent working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on my honors project, assessing the effects of heavy metal contaminants on long-beaked common dolphins ... read more
