Amber recently took the Introduction to Oceanography course at Unity College with Professor Christiana Wittmaack.
"My name is Amber Cooley, I reside in St. Louis, Missouri. I currently work as an electric and appliance coordinator for a home service company. From a young age, I’ve known I wanted to work with animals. As a child, I would save worms from hot sidewalks and through my adulthood, I’ve rescued many species from dangerous and/or harmful circumstances.
I’m going on my second year at Unity College, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to enroll here. I chose Unity because of the flexibility; I’m still able to work my full-time “9-5” job and volunteer, all while attending classes. I’m earning my Bachelor of Science in Animal Health and Behavior with a concentration in Marine Biology and Sustainable Aquaculture.
I recently took Introduction to Oceanography. Our ocean is a major contributor to global climate patterns, and I truly believe anyone in any field would benefit from this course. If you’ve ever stood on a beach, gazed out into the ocean, and wondered, “what’s out there?”, this course is for you. I learned everything from the effects of plate tectonics at the seafloor to the primary producers near the surface, and everything in between.
I currently volunteer at an animal sanctuary and a wildlife rescue/rehabilitation center. I’ve already been able to utilize my knowledge from previous classes with these organizations! My goal is to eventually establish my own animal sanctuary, and rescue/rehabilitate sea life. It’s been my dream since childhood to work with sea lions, sea turtles, dolphins, rays, etc. Although, rescuing and rehabilitating any species is a win in my book."
