I'm Emily Nazario and I am a Ph.D. student in the Williams Lab at UC Santa Cruz. I am interested in working at the interface between research and policy, and would like to apply my future work to direct management or conservation decisions. 

I am studying how physiology can inform the conservation of marine predators, specifically in the context of fine-scale or dynamic spatial management. I am especially interested in how habitat needs vary in response to human interaction or environmental change. 

I am also a student in the coastal science and policy designated emphasis program. Through this program, I am work to understand how to connect science to conservation  needs and management applications.
