I am a 2nd year transfer student here at Sonoma State University, having received my associates degree at Mendocino Community College. I'm working to graduate this semester with my B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Marine Biology. I've always loved the ocean and have dreamed of someday working with marine mammals or doing marine conservation work. Being able to participate in the Hughes Lab as an undergraduate has been a great experience especially in becoming more familiar with marine invertebrates.
