She joined the New England Aquarium in 2006, after working as a fisheries observer based in New Bedford, MA, and on research trawl surveys for the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island. By connecting scientific research to industry and coastal communities in search of solutions, Michelle aims to facilitate improved industry practices for balanced, healthy ecosystems worldwide.
