Hi I’m Genece (pronounced jen-eese)! I am an marine scientist, scientific diver, and divemaster who is passionate about ocean conservation.
As a first-gen Bachelor’s recipient and woman of color in STEM, I am actively seeking out ways to help underrepresented groups navigate the complexities of academia and experience the underwater world.
My past experience in marine science revolves around biological oceanography, animal husbandry, phycology, invertebrate physiology — and more recently shark biology!
I recently completed my year as the 2023 North American Our World-Underwater Scholar where I was pursuing opportunities focused on shark conservation, dive training, and collaboration with ocean advocates and coastal communities.
Currently, I am working as a Junior Specialist at the Bodega Marine Laboratory for the White Abalone Culture Lab and aiming to pursue an advanced degree in the near future.
