Summary
Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Marine Biology at James Cook University with a focus on marine conservation and management, I am passionate about marine wildlife and aim to direct my career toward understanding the impacts of climate change on marine megafauna. The Respiratory Processes in Coral Reef Organisms course offers an invaluable opportunity to further enhance my expertise in this area. I hope to gain advanced skills that will directly support my research and future contributions to marine science.
