I am a marine biology student with a deep passion for marine life, particularly coral reef ecosystems. Over the past three years, I have been dedicated to maintaining saltwater aquariums, continually learning and implementing new techniques to enhance their health and beauty. I aim to integrate my academic studies with my hobby to gain a comprehensive understanding of reef ecosystems. Beyond aquarium care, I enjoy watching nature documentaries and curating music playlists. I'm always eager to connect with fellow hobbyists and explore new coral species to enrich my aquarium.

My Aquarium(s)
As a student, I’ve always been fascinated by marine life and the calming presence of aquariums. Over the past year, I’ve created my own small saltwater aquarium to bring a piece of the ocean into my dorm room. It's a simple yet vibrant 30-gallon tank that has become my own personal escape from the stresses of university life.
