Getting here:
I spent a lot of time choosing the right school for me. Being from Pennsylvania, moving to the ocean has not only been a lifelong dream, but also a necessity to study marine science. Honestly, I had looked at several schools along the East coast of the continental United States, and when I came across COA, I knew it was the school for me.

Internship:
I spent my summer interning on Mount Desert Rock researching oceanic water quality in the Gulf of Maine area. It was a wonderful opportunity for hands on experience that was challenging and so incredibly rewarding.
Senior project:
I want to create a mini-serious of children’s books that educate and incentivize young people in valuing and protecting our ocean.
Life on Mount Desert Island:
Life on the island is incredible. It’s something I have never experienced before. Everyday, I get to see the ocean, the rocky cliff sides, and the breathtaking Acadia National Park. It is truly something special.
