Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to work in marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation working with animals such as seals, dolphins and whales. I also hope to assist in research that will aid the marine mammal science field when it comes to animal standings, rescues and rehabilitation.

Graduate school interests

I am hoping to study marine mammal science and find a focus that will help me aid in a future career in this field while learning more about marine mammals and different research practices that are taking place in the marine mammal science field.

Outside the classroom

In my free time I enjoy volunteering with wildlife, hiking, kayaking, skiing and spending time with my family and friends
I have played the fiddle for 7 years focusing primarily on Irish and Scottish music but dabbling in Cape Breton and American fiddle tunes as well. I also studied Irish dance for 11 years and competed in it for 8 years having also achieved second place in the New England Region.
