"I’m a third-year BSc Ecology and Biodiversity student with a passion for understanding the natural world and the incredible diversity of life on our planet. I have always loved the ocean and the fascinating ecosystems that exist beneath its surface. More recently, I’ve discovered the amazing world of microbes, and I’ve become especially interested in how these tiny organisms can have such a huge impact on biodiversity.
I really enjoy working in the lab, where I can get hands-on experience with experiments, explore scientific questions and see theories come to life through practical research. To be honest, I enjoy the experiments slightly more than coding in RStudio and writing the reports afterwards. Through my studies, I hope to continue exploring the connections between marine ecosystems and the microscopic organisms that help keep our planet functioning."
