Our Story
Coralated is a non profit organization dedicated to community based conservation that not only protects the worlds ocean for their own intrinsic value, but also for the communities that rely on them. I created this non profit with the goal of conducting research that truly matters. Research that not only provides data, but uses that data to invoke change.
About Me
The ocean has always been my greatest teacher. Being born and raised in California, I spent most of my time in the water, playing in the waves, snorkeling, and surfing. As I got older, I realized that I wanted to dedicate my life to preserving, saving, and studying the worlds oceans, and here I am at 24, starting that journey. Playing water polo at the University of Southern California and winning an NCAA championship has given me a tenacity like no other to never give up on my dreams. After graduating college, I went on to get my masters in Conservation and Restoration science at the University of California, Irvine. Now, I am in the first year of my PhD, raising money for research that will truly change the world.
