About

Mabuhay! I am Clarisse Eleanor Santos Sullivan and I am a Filipino researcher that is currently based on O'ahu, Hawai'i. I earned my master of science degree in oceanography from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa through my work with the Rappé Lab at the Hawai'i Institute Of Marine Biology. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a bachelor of science in marine biology. I'm an ocean explorer with a background in microbial and molecular biology.  I am also an experienced scientific diver, achieving multiple subtropical benthos and coral reef survey methods at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences.
