Job aps are in

This quarter at UC Santa Cruz, I am having a blast teaching Introduction to Field Research as well as Ecology of Reefs, Mangroves, and Seagrasses.

Students making natural history observations during the Intro to Field Research and Conservation class' field trip last weekend to Fort Ord Natural Reserve in Marina, CA

Unfortunately, the term ends in April, and then I'll be on to new things! It has been very exciting applying for marine biology jobs all over the Pacific Northwest. I see myself as an educator, researcher, and natural resource manager, and so far this year I have applied to four jobs in these categories, including:

• California Sea Grant-California Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Debris Program Extension Fellow (Oakland, CA)
• California Sea Grant-California Department of Fish and Wildlife Kelp Management Extension Fellow (Eureka, CA)
• Cabrillo College Biology Instructor (Aptos, CA)
• Olympia Oyster and Bull Kelp Habitat Restoration Project Manager at Puget Sound Restoration Fund (Seattle, WA)

All these are full-time positions doing things I love in places I love (with the exception of one place that will remain unnamed in case employers are checking out this blog; hehe). 

I look forward to giving updates on the statuses of all these soon!

* Update 3.09.2020: I have interviewed for both Sea Grant positions and have an interview with Puget Sound Restoration Fund later this week. I was not offered an interview at Cabrillo College.
