My Research
Born and raised on the island of Maui, I was introduced to how important the marine ecosystem is to everyday life in Hawaiʻi from a young age. With the Coral Resilience Lab, Iʻm interested in the conservation and restoration of coral reefs in Hawaiʻi. I mostly work with photogrammetry and monitoring, but my main job is to learn and soak in as much knowledge as I can.
