Why are you running for WHOI and ocean science?
I was a summer fellow at WHOI in 2023, and my experience at the institution was life-changing. WHOI opened doors for me I could never have imagined. The scientific community at WHOI are conducting important work ranging from coral conservation to understanding the environmental health impacts of microplastics. Doing research at Woods Hole is something I will never take for granted, and I want the institution to be able to be able to provide the opportunities that I was granted for years to come. I am thrilled to give back to the community that has shaped me as a scientist and run for Team WHOI at the Falmouth Road Race this year!
What do you love about the ocean?
The ocean is the world's biggest carbon sink and our strongest ally against climate change! I also love that the ocean is home to such a rich diversity of life, and that it is the perfect venue for time spent in nature.
Why do you enjoy about running?
Running provides me with fresh air, community, and time to think. I love pushing myself to my limits, especially as a part of a team. I've been running since I was 9 years old and have no plans to stop anytime soon!
What else would you like to share about yourself?
I am a recent graduate of Middlebury College and am an incoming PhD Student in Environmental Health at Boston University. I also work at Marathon Sports! In my free time I love to run, hike, swim, and pet other people's dogs.
Description
Our Ocean. Our Planet. Our Future.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a world-class community of researchers, engineers, technologists and students working together to find solutions to critical environmental challenges facing humanity and our ocean planet.
We are working together to support ocean science at WHOI. As we join together to RACE FOR THE OCEAN, you help WHOI place big bets on science to accelerate the search for climate solutions, keep ocean habitats healthy and marine life thriving, and explore new possibilities for human lives and livelihoods.
By supporting me, you are also supporting solutions-based science by giving WHOI scientists and engineers the flexibility they need to identify and pursue critical research priorities in a changing ocean. Together, we can create an ocean of possibilities!
