Background

I am a marine biodiversity scientist at the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation and the Center for Conservation Genetics at the American Museum of Natural History, NY. In my research, I focus on sea turtles and the genetics of marine organisms. In addition, I work with marine educational materials produced through the Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners. I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2005, where I studied the connectivity of green sea turtles in the Atlantic, with a focus on foraging aggregations in Brazil. While at Columbia, I also completed multi-disciplinary coursework in Environmental Conservation, earning a Certificate in Environmental Policy. Marine chelonians have been my main research interest since interning with the Brazilian Sea Turtle Conservation Programme in 1991. I returned to Brazil as a Fulbright scholar to conduct sea turtle research for conservation purposes.
