Early life and education

White earned her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville before enrolling at Oregon State University for her PhD in Biological Oceanography.[1] She conducted her postdoctoral researcher with David Karl on the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program.[2]

Career

Upon completing her PhD, White became an assistant professor at Oregon State University.[3] Her research focus remained on "understanding how specific organisms acquire the elements necessary for growth and how different nutrient sources impact primary productivity and particle export."[1] During her tenure at Oregon State, she participated in various expeditions, including to the Great Pacific garbage patch, and received a 2012 Sloan Research Fellowship.[4] White also took pictures while studying marine phytoplankton which were then displayed at the Corvallis Arts Center in an exhibition titled The Art of Plankton: Form Follows Function.[5] In 2015, she received the Yentsch‐Schindler Early Career Award in recognition of her contributions to research, science training, and broader societal issues.[6] She was also promoted to the role of associate professor from 2015 until 2018 when she left to join the faculty at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.[3]

Upon joining the faculty at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, White replaced Karl as leader of the HOT program.[7] She also received funding from the National Science Foundation to continue the program for five more years.[8]

Personal life

White was engaged in a long term partnership with Jennifer DeVries from 2002 until her death in 2012.[9]
