Alexandra Lolavar is an alumna of Dr. Wyneken’s lab, first as an undergraduate and then a graduate student from 2011-2019. During Alexandra’s time in the marine lab, her research broadly focused on the environmental factors that affect sea turtle nest
conditions, especially temperature and moisture. Specifically, Alexandra investigated the effects of moisture on sex ratios in loggerhead sea turtles and the effects of climate change on Florida sea turtle populations. Alexandra is now the Research Coordinator at FAU High School. In this role, Alexandra works with dual-enrolled students interested in conducting research, teaches a series of research method courses, and provides individualized mentoring for students from all disciplines. When Alexandra is not sharing her love of scientific inquiry with her students, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling to new and exciting places, relaxing on the sofa with her cat, and learning new languages.
