Hello, I’m Kiana! I recently graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a B.S. in Biology and I’m taking an extra year to pursue my interests in graphic design. I grew up in Southern California by the beach so the ocean has always held a special place in my heart. Throughout my college experience I had the opportunity to intern at the Institute of Marine Affairs in Trinidad and Tobago as well as take some ecology courses in New Zealand. I have dreamed of working to help with research on cetaceans ever since I saw my first gray whale in high school and I’m very excited to be interning at CRC!
In my free time I love to do photography, eat good food with friends, and hang out with my dog Tahoe!
