Originally from Santa Barbara, Seri is a recent graduate of UC Santa Cruz, where she earned her B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. During her undergraduate studies, she gained a passion for research, specifically investigating the auditory biology, cognition, and physiology of seals and sea lions at the Pinniped Cognition and Sensory Systems Laboratory. There, she explored the intersection between animal husbandry, marine mammal training, and conservation-based research. She is extremely excited to continue discovering all she can about this intersection at NMMF. In her free time, Seri enjoys tidepooling, taking yoga classes, and listening to podcasts.
