I am currently pursuing Master's degree at UCSB's Bren School of Environmental Science & Management with a specialization in Water Resources and Coastal Marine Management (class of 2024). I graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) in 2019 with a Bachelors in Agricultural Business and a minor in Spanish. During my undergraduate career, I was a 4-year collegiate Water Polo athlete. While at Cal Poly, I found my passion for water resources as I broadened my scope of studies in water policy and marine and freshwater ecosystems. During my time at the Bren School, I hope to further my knowledge in proactive marine and freshwater management actions though policy and collaborative action. I aim use the skills gained from my graduate studies to mold a career focused on implementing water resilient projects in the Western United States as well as driving equitable and optimal water management strategies through collaborative and innovative policy action.
