MA Earth & Environment Student
Amanda Paulak plans to focus on marine conservation and education. She recently graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Marine Biology and a minor in Theater. Her recent research in Mo’orea, French Polynesia explored how environmental factors shape coral reef algal communities, work that she hopes to build on through an upcoming internship at the New England Aquarium. Outside of science, Amanda is part of an improv group, acts whenever she can, and believes that “storytelling” cant teach us onstage but also underwater.
