For Stephanie, the BU Marine Program was truly a life changing experience.
“Participating in the program is like being in your own little world separate from the rest of the BU community; you become really close with your classmates by being thrown into both mentally and often times physically demanding situations. I learned how to develop viable and intriguing research questions and subsequently how to carry them out in the field or lab.”
After graduating, Stephanie completed a Masters in Ecology from Fordham University. She worked in a lab that studies darters – a small freshwater fish, and led a field expedition in Tennessee aiming to understand the impact urbanization is having on the species composition of these fish. She is now a Life Scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency.
