Having a great time rocking my SvahaUSA and hearing about great freshwater and marine science at #ASLO24! I also enjoyed sharing my service-learning collab between UNC Pembroke and Winyah Rivers Alliance. UNCP Biology UNCP College of Arts and Sciences #awkwardbathroomselfie

I finally went full Frizzle to represent UNCP Biology for UNC Pembroke's trick-or-treat event! It was some serious rapid-fire candy dispensing but it was a lot of fun!
