Outreach

I value engaging and learning with communities. Outreach can serve as a platform to provide inclusive opportunities in science for individuals from a diversity of backgrounds and can influence ecosystem management. In all of my outrach efforts, I aim to inspire awe for the ecosystems of which we are all a part. These interactions also influence and interact with my research and teaching efforts.
