Hi! My name is Alex, and I am a current Oceanography major entering my second year at the University of Washington. I am extremely excited for my first research opportunity because I love hands on work. I am excited to learn copious amounts while out at sea. I am super fascinated by rocks and find hydrothermal vent fields to be one of the most fascinating discoveries on our planet. Some of my hobbies include playing tennis and swimming. I look forward to meeting everyone and am excited to work with the team.
