Marlen Terrazas, Forlano Lab (Class of 2019)

BS Candidate, Environmental Science, Ecology and Evolution, Saint Mary's College

Marlen is a senior at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, IN where she's an Environmental Science, Ecology, and Evolution major and Environmental Studies minor.  She's originally from Chicago, but spent a significant amount of time in Mexico as a child where she developed interests in both ecology and environmental ethics. She's spent her 3 years at Saint Mary's working in the Kloepper Lab, studying soundscapes within the Notre Dame area during Notre Dame Football season. Through this research, she's developed a passion for the conservation of natural soundscapes and hopes to continue to learn more about this through work from both a scientific as well as a moral and ethical perspective. Marlen will be working in the Forlano lab this summer to continue getting more experience on this topic!
