Born and raised just outside Burlington, Vermont I’ve always been fascinated by the diversity of invertebrates and the alluring beauty of the ocean. It was during my years at university that I rediscovered my love of drawing as well as my obsession with jellyfish and comb jellies. Over the next couple of years, I would work on publishing a manuscript, study at The Marine Biological Laboratory, and even have access to scientific manuscripts made over several centuries ago. It was looking at these old manuscripts - many of them lacking any visuals - that convinced me to apply and graduate from the Science Illustration program at CSUMB. Currently, I am working towards my Ph.D. at the University of Maryland in the Biology Department exploring the systematics of Ctenophora.
