I am a researcher and science writer who studies bioacoustics and sensory ecology. At its core, my research seeks to preserve marine soundscapes, which are at risk in an increasingly industrialized ocean.

I am currently a Guest Investigator in T. Aran Mooney's Bioacoustics and Sensory Ecology lab and Laela Sayigh's Marine Mammal Acoustics lab, following completion of my BSc in Biology from Tufts University. I work on projects related to coral reef monitoring, offshore wind development, and dolphin communication. My research aims to study the unique acoustic ecology of the marine environment, how organisms use hearing and sound production for their vital biological functions, and how these interactions are changing with increasing anthropogenic noise. I additionally contribute as a freelance writer for Oceanus Magazine and MIT's Science Policy Review. 

I completed my senior thesis work with Dr. George Ellmore on the environmental mobility of barley allelochemicals as a sustainable agriculture technique. I also studied the role of fish sensory systems in predation avoidance and schooling behavior with Dr. Eric Tytell. 

I am pursuing master's opportunities and welcome inquiries at [email protected].
