Below are programs and organizations with whom I have worked. Learn more and get involved!
Duke University Marine Lab
As a Rachel Carson Scholar, I spent two semesters at the Duke Marine Lab on the coast of North Carolina on Pivers Island studying as an undergraduate. The marine lab is a wonderful place to studying offering a variety of classes. In the spring, travel courses are offered on a block schedule. During my spring semester, I traveled to Belize, Singapore, and St. Croix for my classes. The following fall semesters, I spent the time on the coastal campus taking classes and conducting research in addition to a Fall Break travel course to Panama. There are not enough wonderful things to say about the Duke Marine Lab.
