Aaron recently took the Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems course at Unity College with Professor Bruce Stephen.
"Hi, I’m Aaron Diauto and I am earning my Master’s in Marine Science through Distance Education at Unity College. I am pursuing two concentrations in Conservation of Marine Mammals as well as Marine Predators.
I grew up on the south shore of Massachusetts in Pembroke but also spent most of my life in Cape Cod where I received my undergrad at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I graduated in 2020 with a degree in Marine Science, Safety and Environmental Protection, and a concentration in Marine Biology. After graduating I took a job for a year as a fisheries observer, monitoring commercial fishing vessels at sea, and then moved into an office as a fisheries data debriefer for current observers so I could attend graduate school and start moving towards a career in marine science and conservation.
I heard about Unity College from one of my best friends and a recent graduate. She spoke very highly of Distance Education at Unity, and it sounded like it was a perfect fit for my current work schedule. I am able to learn and pursue my career with flexibility while also working full-time and it has been such a great experience so far. I am hoping to take away from these courses as much as I can and become a true professional in the field of marine science and be able to make an impact in the conservational science community.
I have learned so much already and look forward to graduating with my Master’s and finding a career in marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation or perhaps marine mammal/predator conservation and research. I’m not entirely sure yet but either way Unity College will help make either a possibility."
