She is pursuing her PhD in the lab of Dr. Larry Madin through the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography. Her research interest is the ecology of gelatinous zooplankton. Kelly says she enjoys passing on scientific inquiry skills and enthusiasm to the next generation of scientists through education and outreach activities.
