Selected Projects 2016-18
at UMass Dartmouth truly special. Currently, I am
working for the Division of Marine Fisheries and applying
to graduate schools. I know that this research
helped me become better prepared for fieldwork and
graduate school. Being able to work with a master’s
student, Ami Araujo, while I was an undergraduate
gave me insight to the process and hard work involved
with graduate school. Without OUR’s help I would not
have been able to conduct this research, and help
fulfill my dream of working as a marine biologist and
going to graduate school.
