M.S. in Marine Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William & Mary, 2005 B.S. in Biology, Chowan University, Murfreesboro, NC, 2003 I am a marine ecologist interested in underwater grasses also known as submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). SAV are found at the land-sea margin, a highly variable, stressful, and disturbed habitat. In recent decades increases in anthropogenic disturbances and impacts from climate change in coastal and estuarine habitats resulted in a decline of SAV populations at a global scale. My aim is to understand the effects of environmental stressors on large-scale physiological processes such as plant development and reproduction within SAV populations and to communicate these results to resource agencies and policy makers charged with their management.
