Interest in Marine Science/Humanitarian Aid: “Something that excites me is being able to see creatures face to face more often and facing my fears with some of them. I think the mysteries of the ocean are very intriguing, and being intrigued obviously excites and encourages me to want to learn more. Humanitarian aid is something that isn’t just exciting it’s fulfilling, learning more about how to treat people with kindness and support is something I am very passionate about. I am beyond excited to learn more with a community I’ve never been near or around.”
