Meet Katherine! They are a junior undergraduate assistant in the Fish Collection, and are currently a double major in Marine Biology and Fisheries. They're job in the collection involves organizing, packing loans, and cataloging fish.

Their favorite job is giving tours and teaching visitors about all the different kinds of fish morphology in the collection.

Their favorite fish is the warty frogfish (Antennarius maculatus).
