🎉Exciting news! I'm thrilled to announce that I have a new job as a funding manager at Coralive in the Maldives 🌴

In addition to my role, I am enhancing my skills in reef restoration by working in coral nurseries and conducting coral spawning research.

Spent the last two weeks in the lower Keys exploring new opportunities. A big thank you for the legendary Dr David Vaughan and family for having me and such a great time!!

It was a warm weekend at Summerland Key @MoteMarineLab. Where thousand of coral fragments are growing to be outplanted on Florida reefs. We hope these corals will continue to grow and reproduce to enhance reef resilience. #ForCoral 🪸

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to attend the #ReefFutures2022! It gave me a lot to think about! Thank you to all coral restoration practitioners, researchers, and resource managers for sharing great info!

Developing long-term motivation is a complicated issue but don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do. Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Life has two rules: 1) Never quit. 2) Always remember Rule 1. Glad to be here to learn more about corals
