Peterson
I completed my undergraduate degree in Biology and Environmental Science
at Whitman College in 2005. For the following year I taught marine biology
to kindergarten through college students at a non-profit educational
organization known as the Ocean Institute. Between 2006 and 2008 I
completed my Masters degree in Environmental Science at Western Washington
University, where I conducted research in aquatic ecology and fish
biology. I also received a GK-12 fellowship in 2006 and spent a year in an
8th grade classroom as a visiting scientist. Since that time I have been
involved in research of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park and
predicting effects of changing climates on California agriculture. At UC
Berkeley I will center my research around aquatic systems with future
interests including aquatic ecology, ecotoxicology,natural research
management and science communication. Outside of the research world, I
enjoy coaching basketball, leading outdoor excursions and playing
basketball.
