Shadaesha Green

Shadaesha is working as a Communication, Education and Engagement (CEE) division fellow in NOAA’s Climate Program Office. She is a graduate of Hampton University, where she received a B.S. in Marine and Environmental Science and a minor in biology. Shadaesha is currently a Ph.D. student in the Marine, Estuarine, Environmental Science graduate program at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology. Her dissertation is focused on crustacean physiology and endocrinology using the red deep-sea crab, Chaceon quinquedens, as her species of interest. Specifically, she investigates the reproductive biology of females with an emphasis on characterizing putative hormonal reproductive regulators. She also studies the genetic structure of red deep-sea crab population along the coast of the United States.

In her free time, Shadaesha enjoys spending time with her family, reading, watching movies (binge watching Netflix), and cooking.
