I am a marine biology major with an interest in attending veterinary school to become a marine mammal research veterinarian. I am currently part of a team involved in extracting harmful algal toxins from marine mammal and fish tissue samples, and preparing those extracts for analysis using an antibody-based detection method. This project aims to understand the distribution of phytoplankton toxins of emerging concern in Florida's Indian River Lagoon.
