As an undergraduate researcher at Indiana University, I worked on projects using soil fungi and freshwater bacteria to test ecological processes. After learning about the sheer abundance, interactions, and niches of microbes in the environment, I decided to pursue graduate work in marine microbial ecology. In the Moran Lab, I use metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and model organism approaches to study the diversity and regulation of bacterial organic sulfur degradation in the surface ocean
