I am an aquatic and wildlife biologist based in southern California. I earned my B.S. in Marine Biology from California State University Long Beach and my M.S. in Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles. I have studied marine invertebrates, freshwater fishes, and parasites in southern California. I like fishes, amphibians, invertebrates and their symbionts. Drawn to the far-out and grotesque forms of life.
