In 2006 I transferred to the University of California San Diego from the College of the Desert, a small community college at Palm Desert (about 2h northeast of San Diego). I graduated from UCSD with a B.Sc. Ecology, Behavior and Evolution over last summer, 2010.
I was away for practically half of my time in UCSD since I participated in three study abroad programs and one international research, all nearly or fully funded!!!
These are:
AUSTRALIA August - November 2007
University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia – Marine Biology & Terrestrial Ecology Program
SWITZERLAND July - August 2008
University of Zurich - ETH, Zurich, Switzerland – International Internship
COSTA RICA April - July 2009
Monteverde Institute, Monteverde, Costa Rica – Tropical Biology and Conservation Program
SOUTH AFRICA January - July 2010
University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa – Immerse Program
I conducted research projects at all of these programs except for South Africa.
Additional Research:
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
I performed further research at SIO while I was in San Diego during 2009 – 2010. I am currently preparing the manuscript for this project
