My first job down here was working on the Island Time fishing boat. Although it was a fishing boat we didn't do a lot of fishing we mostly spent time making fish habitats and cleaning up around the Port Aransas area. at North Shore Cinema 8 Portland TX. (Usher and Cashier)

Goals and interests

Career goal

My Short Term goals are getting my Bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology; when I graduate high school I will have accumulated 29 college credits and I’m hoping to receive my bachelor’s in 3 yrs. And then working on to long term goals which include a master’s degree; I plan on doing an Internship for all the hands on experience I can get. And I’m thinking about going on to a Doctoral. I want to be able to choose any marine biology work field. My passion and enthusiasm will set me apart from the masses, and I will do what is necessary to stand out above the crowd attaining my future goals.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies are fishing, kayaking, scuba, and just searching beaches for different sea creatures, by continually participating in my hobbies I can acquire substantial skills and knowledge in my career area.
