«I’ve had a love for the water all my life. Growing up in Cape Cod, I was always around the water and wildlife, which is where I developed such a deep passion for both. I love teaching and educating people about our environment. I want to share my knowledge and passion with other people who want to learn about Sarasota’s ecosystem.»
