Dissertation Title: The Impact Of Groundwater, Nutrients, Algae, And Herbivorous Fish On Hawaii's Reefs; An Ecological Approach Research Interests:
Personal Statement: I was born and raised in the district of South Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. As I was growing up I spent the majority of my free time in or near the ocean. Some of my favorite ocean activities included surfing, diving for fish, and picking opihi. As an adult I spend my days collecting and analyzing data from tropical reefs. I owe my spirituality, health, and career to the ocean. I consider the reef to be my kuleana (responsibility). My goal in life is to sustain Hawaii's marine resources for generations to come. |
