Biography

The Ocean can't keep humans up-to-date with what's going on, and I realized the disconnect between academia and understanding. I wanted to get the word out and not only talk about the bad things happening, but the beauty and how to connect with the ocean in general. I...

From the time I was very young I knew that I wanted to be a voice and a face for the ocean. The Ocean can't keep humans up-to-date with what's going on, and I realized the disconnect between academia and understanding. I wanted to get the word out and not only talk about the bad things happening, but the beauty and how to connect with the ocean in general. I believe there's a reason we all are made of 75% water in our bodies.

The sense of wonder and curiosity every time I looked at the ocean and horizon really sparked something inside me.

When we breathe in oxygen, one out of every two breaths was created out of processes in the ocean. A lot of people have that mixed up; they think it's just the trees providing the oxygen for us, but it's the ocean as well. I'm hoping the women coming up into this field and into marine science will be focused on expanding and sharing that message on a broader...

I became a certified scuba diver at 17 and finally had the opportunity to go under a wave and experience the magnificent world under the ocean. That fascination, that curiosity has not waned - it is full force for me all the time. And I just want to connect people to the water, to the ocean, to show them that our lives on the planet are dependent on the ocea...

I became a certified scuba diver at 17 and finally had the opportunity to go under a wave and experience the magnificent world under the ocean. That fascination, that curiosity has not waned - it is full force for me all the time. And I just want to connect people to the water, to the ocean, to show them that our lives on the planet are dependent on the ocean and we're at a tipping point.

Being a science communicator is important because representation matters. As the first African-American woman to host her own science television show, I think about the millions of young girls who might be thinking about pursuing a career in STEM and simply need to connect with role models that look like them to believe that it's possible.As we face challeng...

Being a science communicator is important because representation matters. As the first African-American woman to host her own science television show, I think about the millions of young girls who might be thinking about pursuing a career in STEM and simply need to connect with role models that look like them to believe that it's possible.As we face challenges like climate change and ocean pollution, it's important that there is a real connection and line of communication between the general public and the science community. Sometimes, there seems to be a disconnect between the two and not enough conversation about what scientists are discovering today. When we have those conversations between the general public and the science community, that's when change will happen.As a science communicator, I can be the catalyst that can help make that change for the better. Plus, it's a lot of FUN being a science communicator!
