May 2023 - Present
I primarily teach three different marine science classes to scouts aged 11-17 in the Boy Scouts of America. I also assist in the husbandry of temperate marine fish and invertebrates, maintain the appearance of exhibits, monitor life support systems, perform exhibit interpretation, as well as participate in some accessions of specimens for the collection. We conduct multiple dives a week, including some small boat dives. I receive trainings on animal husbandry, life support systems, plumbing, ROV operation, zoonosis and more. Show less
