Years with Explorer Ventures: I started with Explorer Ventures in 2010, working on Caribbean Explorer. I have worn many “hats” throughout the years.
Living place: Jacksonville, Florida
Business/Experience/Education backgrounds: More than 15 years of experience in the Maritime industry. My degree is in Education and my land-based background is in Media and Marketing, primarily focused on Marine Conservation and Tourism.
Years Diving (or a bit of her passion for the ocean): I grew up in New England, I became a certified diver at a young age. However, I didn’t fall in love with scuba until I was introduced to tropic conditions. Needless to say, I am a fair-weather diver and I not afraid to admit it!
Favorite place to travel/dive: I have been very fortunate to dive a wide variety of places across the globe. When I find myself dreaming of diving, my mind drifts into the waters of Saba. There are very few places in this world with such spectacular views above and below the sea.
Favorite pastime/hobby: Anything on or beneath the ocean. Just keep swimming..  
Something unique or little known about her: In my 20’s I spent a year backpacking Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. I’ve always felt one of the best experiences in a new area is watching the sunrise. During my travels I photographed 187 spectacular sunrises and a few not-so-great ones as well.
Favorite quote: “We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came” – JFK
