ABOUT ME
Science Communicator • Marine Biologist • PhD Student
My name is Meredith and I am a Biology PhD student at the University of Central Florida in the Marine Ecology and Conservation Lab. I received my B.S. in Marine Biology from Nova Southeastern University. My goal is to enact sustainable fisheries and industries through research, education, and management.
MY BACKGROUND
How I Got Here
Growing up in Sarasota, Florida I have always had a connection with the environment and water. My elementary school was located on the water and we attended field trips to the beach and Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium which made me have an appreciation for marine life and ecosystems. I decided to attend Nova Southeastern University to study my passion for marine biology-- specifically fisheries which has become my interest after having the opportunity to experience fish species up close and personal. Now I am attending UCF to continue pursing my passion of research as well as educating others along the way.
