STUDY THE SEA WITH ME

ABOUT ME

I am a lifelong ocean advocate.

I've worked to instill a sense of awe and ownership of our oceans as a:

whale watch naturalist, biologist technician, marine mammalogist, academic research assistant, marine mammal trainer, chemical ecology lab manager, and teacher.

Institutions

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center
Adventure Aquarium
Aquarium of the Pacific
National Aquarium in Baltimore
Miami Seaquarium

Husbandry and behavioral training with a multitude of species

most notably: stingrays, sharks, marmosets, macaws, seals, sea lions, sea otters, and bottlenose dolphins.

I studied Biology, Psychology and Marine Science at Penn State

Concentrating in Learning and Behavior paved the path for me to train macaws, mice, marmosets, sharks, stingrays, seals, sea lions, and the smiling bottlenose dolphin
