EPP/MSI participation

- NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center (LMRCSC) (2009, 2015)

Education

M.S. Natural Resources from Delaware State University, supported by LMRCSC.
B.A., B.S. Marine and Environmental Science from Hampton University, supported by the Undergraduate Scholarship Program and LMRCSC.

Participation in EPP from undergraduate through graduate school oriented me to NOAA line offices and program efforts, which prepared me for the Knauss Fellowship and my current role. I also met great colleagues in the EPP/MSI program who have become my support system and good friends.
