About
I am currently a Graduate Student at Arizona State in Masters of Liberal Arts and Science. I have a BS in Communications and New Media and I also have a BA in Physical and Biological Sciences and minored in Marine Biology. I currently work as a Special Education Teacher, Aquaculturist of marine corals and fish, and High School Baseball coach. I also work on content for carious marine hobby related forums and magazines: thomasvisionreef.com and Saltwater Smarts. I have written for various periodicals as well. I enjoy writing and I feel I would make a great asset to the HS team.
