  mentoring_philosophy: 'I plan to introduce mentees to new skillsets, data types, and analysis methods with the goal of identifying what component of the research is most interesting to the student. I will encourage student ownership over components of this research, while providing support and guidance as needed. I will work to keep lines of communication open and to promote interactive learning in a safe space. Further, I will provide mentees with opportunities to learn about how scientific research can inform marine policy and management in the face of climate change. I also plan to encourage students to consider their personal educational and professional goals and will provide advice about how to reach those goals. '

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project seeks to understand the impacts of climate change and disease to coral reefs in Bonaire, an island in the southern Caribbean. Photographic surveys of the reef at 19 sites from 80ft up to 15ft will be analyzed to determine the severity and prevalence of coral bleaching and disease by species, depth, and coral colony size. These changes over time will be compared to stressors like temperature, intensity of recreational use, and water quality to understand the drivers of coral reef health. The goal of this research is to identify where the reef is more and less healthy under increasingly stressful environmental conditions to help inform management actions and ongoing scientific monitoring programs.
