Happy to be back in the field on a beautiful day!

First time presenting in person during my Masters! Thanks to the Benthic Ecology Conference for hosting me! #BEM22

This is the #BEM2022 / #FinalFour crossover we didn't know we needed! (also love seeing Dr @StacyZhang_ show where her loyalties lie 💙🐏)

Job posting! The Gittman Coastal Ecology Lab at ECU is looking for a paid field/lab technician based in the Morehead City area to help with ecological field and mesocosm experiments. Happy to answer any questions! Deadline to apply is May 4. ecu.peopleadmin.com/postings/50827

Well no changing it now! For anyone interested, I will be giving my M.S. thesis defense “Gradients in success: Impact of Wave Energy, Predation and Elevation on Oyster Reef Restoration” on May 26 at 9am. It will be hybrid format so anyone is welcome to join!

Officially a Master of Science! So thankful to everyone who has helped me over these last two years 🎓👩‍🎓 T- 19 days till my defense

Had a fun field week sampling to study the ecosystem services of #livingshorelines for a project funded by NC Sea Grant

Help this brilliant scientist find a job!

I did it! Woo hoo 🎉

Yesterday was my last field day at Taylor’s Creek where I spent the last two years monitoring our oyster reef restoration 🦪 bitter sweet goodbye!

ECU is seeking a leased residential space for housing +/- 18-36 college students studying at the ECU Outer Banks Campus on Roanoke Island. The initial term of the lease will be from January 1, 2023- December 31, 2023. (1/3)

You may have seen these oyster-covered structures along the southern shoreline of #RachelCarsonReserve. @GittmanR from ECU is studying if restoring oyster reefs can offset coastal erosion & habitat loss, which is heavily affected by boat wakes in Taylor’s Creek.

Today was my first day as an Outdoor Educator for Rugged Research. So excited to teach kids at Denver Public Schools about science, nature and conservation!

My undergraduate research was published today in Evolution and Ecology - Predicting Age and Mass at Maturity from Feeding Behavior and Diet in Manduca sexta: An Empirical Test of a Life History Model 🐛 check it out if you are interested! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
