I want to do work that matters and that makes a difference when it comes to my true passion, habitat and wildlife conservation. In 2022, Dr. Frauke Bagusche's book "The Blue Wonder" made such an impression on me that I reached out to her and we corresponded about the importance of spreading the word about what we can all do to protect our oceans. That experience, combined with a talk I attended last fall at the New England Aquarium with Dr. Sylvia Earle about why we should all care about the weird, wild, and wonderful depths of the sea, sparked me to reconsider how I've been using my storytelling and project management skills. I'm never happier than when I'm learning about, discussing, or simply standing near the ocean, wild bird habitat, or other wild places. Educating people about space, natural science, and the species that call our planet home through engaging storytelling is the best way to ensure they care about their continued survival. I want to use my storytelling skills to contribute to a legacy of conservation and education through working in communications, copywriting, or managed social media for oceanic or avian conservation groups.
