Marine policy graduate behind Resilient U Podcast, turning campus climate resilience conversations into educational content.
What I'm looking for
I created, produced, and hosted Resilient U Podcast in partnership with the University of Miami's Climate Resilience Institute. I learned studio production from scratch and turned climate risk topics and campus resilience conversations into educational and entertaining episodes.
I launched the podcast from concept to production solo, publishing two episodes that received 300+ combined plays and views across Spotify and YouTube within two weeks. I interviewed University of Miami students about what resilience looks like on campus.
At the Bakers Lab, Rosenstiel School, I volunteered with an active coral reef research team. I assisted with lab maintenance, coral fragment monitoring, water quality testing, titration, and data collection.
My marine experience also includes teaching children basic marine science and leading snorkel lessons at Funky Fish Ocean Camp. I hold a B.A. in Marine Policy and have a background in Marine Biology, with a strong interest in marine resilience, conservation, and environmental communications in Australia.
