WHY SHE CHOSE THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS "I want the opportunity to (literally) dive into field studies research as a biologist in this gorgeous location. With this unique program provided by the School for Field Studies, I have the chance to explore the beauty and science that compose the nature, ocean and communities that this special island has to offer."

I also am very excited to live exactly where I will be conducting research."
