New Photo Exhibit!
If you're traveling in South Florida, be sure to check out my new photo exhibit "Exploring Marine Conservation Through A Lens" at Manatee Lagoon Eco-Discovery Center in Riviera Beach.
The exhibit features some of my projects related to sea turtles, wild dolphins, and manta rays in Florida.
I also gave a presentation on April 8 to launch the exhibit!

Mantas in Florida!
Check out this article in Scuba Diver Life about manta rays in Florida, featuring the work of Marine Megafauna Foundation's Florida Manta Project.
It also includes several of my photos and a video I shot of a hook removal on a manta, nicknamed Stevie Nicks by the scientists studying her.
Happy News!
Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that I was selected to be featured as the female nature photographer of the month in the February issue of Wild Planet Photo Magazine!
I shot this image of a loggerhead sea turtle chowing down on a lobster, while freediving in a seagrass meadow of the Bahamas. I was leading a research expedition with the Wild Dolphin Project.
Loggerhead sea turtles are listed as 'vulnerable' according to the IUCN.
