Coral physiologist studying the effects of nutrients and symbiosis on asexual reproduction and development in symbiotic cnidarians Instructor at Oregon State University and Chemeketa Community College
Very excited that I got to present on some of my dissertation research at #ICRS2026! This study looked at changes in lipidomic profiles in Aiptasia based on life stages and symbiotic state. Thank you to everyone who came, asked questions, and helped make this moment possible. Kia ora!

World’s Fourth Mass Coral Bleaching Event Likely Ended in 2025
NOAA experts have determined that the fourth global coral bleaching event likely concluded in mid-2025 following unprecedented heat stress across the world’s coral reefs.

Heterotrophy and symbiosis affect energy reserves for pedal lacerates in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana
Nutrient exchange between corals and their dinoflagellate symbionts is the foundation of the stable symbiosis that underpins coral reef ecosystem success. The cnidarian-dinoflagellate holobiont engage...
