Kirsten graduated from Colby College in 2020 with a major in Environmental Science and a concentration in Aquatic Science. She is interested in the idea of resilient communities and exploring how biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing intersect and respond to climate change.  

During her internship with MarineGEO, Kirsten helped curate and organize the SeagrassNet database. SeagrassNet is a global ecological monitoring program started in 2001 which investigates and documents the status of seagrass resources and the threats to this ecosystem.

The Marine Global Earth Observatory (MarineGEO), directed by the Smithsonian’s Tennenbaum Marine Observatories Network (TMON), is a network of partners researching biodiversity as the heart of healthy, productive, coastal ecosystems, where marine life and people are concentrated and interact most. MarineGEO marshals the Smithsonian’s leadership in discovery and convening power to advance knowledge useful to decision-makers in supporting innovative management and protection of marine life.
