Annika’s Bio

Annika recently graduated with a degree in Molecular Biology from a happy little place in California called UC Berkeley. She was lucky enough to land a short-term research gig at The University of Auckland, New Zealand to study marine management. While she is “down under”, she plans to explore NZ, Indonesia, Australia, and everything in between.
