Project title, “Exploration of cephalopod science”

I am an undergraduate originally from Colorado however I’ve been living in North Carolina for the last 2 years. I’m majoring in marine biology. I took a gap year before college to explore what I wanted to do in life. Which is when I realized my fascination with water and cephalopods. I enjoy surfing, hiking, and most water sports. Really anything to do with water, Ill probably be there. I have loved water since before I can remember and will always find some excuse to go swimming. No matter the temperature or the weather outside.

I am excited to have the opportunity to work with cephalopods this semester. As I love cephalopods and all they can tell us about the ocean.
