I am an oceanographer working to advance knowledge of the deep ocean.

I have led and participated in ocean expeditions around the world using deep submergence technology.

​

I am passionate about communicating the wonders of science, the ocean, microbes, & more to diverse audiences.

​

I advocate and create opportunities to make science and engineering more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

I am a Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution where I direct a research laboratory.
