I am a Junior at Florida Tech who got her start in the lab by articulating (assembling) a harbor seal skeleton. This year I am working closely with Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute to start a project involving dissection, extraction and cataloging of otoliths (ear bones used for hearing and balance) from Indian River Lagoon fish. These will be used to study the dietary trends of dolphins that prey on these fish species in the Lagoon. My career goal is to work in marine animal rescue and rehabilitation.
