Meet Heidy,

Interdisciplinary

Shark & Ray Researcher.

Shifting from psychology & anthropology to marine biology after an encounter with a white shark, I've since researched and recorded behavioral data on sharks, handled and tagged different shark species, collected valuable muscle and genetic samples, and now hold a position as a marine biologist aboard a ship in the Gulf of California. I've learned to leverage my insights on human behavior and cultures to push new perspectives in protecting our oceans and inspire a new generation of science.
