Tell us something funny or interesting about yourself that no one would guess?
I love vintage fashion! For a period of time, I even worked as a fashion stylist! When I’m not in my Dolphin Safari work attire, I like to sport some snazzy threads. The 60s and 70s are my favorite era for fashion, and it’s not unusual for me to rock a pair of bell bottoms or psychedelic prints. Plus, wearing vintage is eco-friendly!
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people fall in love with the sea and all the beauty within it! If you can help folks fall in love with the ocean and its inhabitants, they will be more inclined to protect it. I believe our most important duty in this field is to educate, empower, and equip folks to make a difference.
Where are you from originally?
Born and raised in Orange County baby!
If you could be a cetacean, which animal would you be?
A killer whale because they’re so incredibly intelligent and fast! But honestly, I want to be a Mola Mola – I’m lazy, and slowly cruising and eating all day would be the best.
What is your best Dolphin Safari experience of all time?
I love hearing the excitement from passengers seeing a whale or dolphin for the first time – such joy, it never gets old!
