Hi! My name is Anna. I am currently a graduate student in policy studies with a focus on ocean equity and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. I came to the University of Washington as an undergraduate to study Oceanography but found that I enjoy protecting oceans as much as I enjoy studying them. Down the line, through policy research, I hope to combine my interests in oceanography and law to support sustainable ocean legislation. I am incredibly excited to go to sea with VISIONS to learn more about the process behind ocean research as well as to gain experience with vessel operations.
