Experience
Ocean Rescue Alliance International
Jul 2025 — Present · Miami, FL, US
As part of a diverse, multidisciplinary team, I contribute to evaluating and optimizing the shoreline protection potential of recently deployed artificial reefs off Hollywood, FL. Our work integrates field data collection (pressure sensors on and around reef structures) with numerical wave modeling (XBeach, Delft3D) to assess wave transmission, energy dissipation, and erosion mitigation. In collaboration with experienced mentors, I am gaining hands-on experience with coastal modeling tools, reef instrumentation, and applied data analysis.In addition to the technical work, I support the team’s funding and grant development efforts by researching opportunities, drafting technical narratives, and preparing budgets for proposals to universities, environmental nonprofits, and government programs. These efforts are aimed at securing resources for ongoing monitoring and experimental testing. The findings of this project will guide future reef design and deployment strategies while advancing ORAI’s mission to deliver nature-based solutions for coastal resilience.
