Annie finished her thesis and obtained her masters degree in marine biology at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in Winter 2024, focusing on Zooplankton grazing in the California Current. Annie obtained her bachelor's degree from the University of California, San Diego in 2022, where she also studied marine biology and zooplankton ecology in the Décima Lab.
When she is not working in the lab or studying, Annie can be found rock climbing all over San Diego. Her other hobbies include swimming, hiking, and photography. Her favorite zooplankton is currently an ostracod because they look like jellybeans.
