Tori returned to her home state of MA to join the NEFSC in 2022 after completing her Geosciences Ph.D. (Princeton University). Tori also holds an M.A. in Geosciences (Princeton University) and a B.S. in Environmental Geosciences (Boston College). Her research spanned from the central equatorial Pacific to the North Atlantic, where she used nitrogen isotopes to study nutrient cycling in the modern ocean, primarily in coral reef environments.
