I have a great passion for conserving animals and the environment, I am a sophomore at Ohio University, double majoring in Wildlife Conservation and Marine Ecology. However, going to school in Ohio, I won't be getting a lot of hands on marine experience and my school only has one Marine Biology class. For the past year of college I have felt a strengthening connection to the ocean as I learned more about all the problems it is having such as pollutants, endangered species, rising temperatures and so on. All I want to do is make it a better environment for our fellow sea creatures as well as rescue and rehabilitate the ones who have been negatively impacted by things like pullution and plastics.
I would love to get the best education possible in this field so I could put my best foot foward in marine conservation, and studying abroad is the best oppurtunity I have. I want to go to either Hawaii or Australia so I can be near the ocean and get more hands on experience as well as strengthening my passion to advocate and help the ocean, making me into the best marine biologist I can be!
