Media requests:

Please contact the Media Relations team at the Monterey Bay Aquarium via email media@mbayaq.org with your specific ask and deadline.

Potential graduate students:

I co-advise MS students through the Coastal Science & Policy Program at UCSC and MS and PhD students that are accepted to other research labs, pending an agreement with your primary advisor. My time for mentoring students is very limited. Self-directed students conducting research that applies to concrete conservation and management outcomes are a good fit for my research and mentoring style. Before you reach out, please look into the CSP program or other primary research lab(s), and prepare a set of research questions fitting the above description that you’d like to pursue.

Informational interviews:

A 20-30 minute chat to connect and grow your network, informational interviews can be a great way to better understand career opportunities. Be sure to prepare well to get the most out of these short calls with me or anyone else you’d like to connect with.
