Hello, my name is Genece (pronounced jen-eese)! I am a marine biologist, scientific diver, and divemaster committed to community-driven research and expanding access to the ocean through science and storytelling.
My previous work in marine science has focused on biological oceanography, animal husbandry, phycology, invertebrate physiology, and population restoration. In the future, I aim to further my education through an advanced degree centered around the impacts of human activity on marine environments and biodiversity.
After an incredible year as the 2023 North American Our World-Underwater Scholar and formative chapter as a Junior Specialist at Bodega Marine Laboratory, I am now centering non-traditional mentorship, deepening my professional development within marine science, and working on an upcoming film. (Stay tuned for the announcement!)
I am always happy to connect about diving, research, or navigating life as a first-gen scientist.
Please feel free to reach out!
