Courtney recently took the Introduction to Oceanography course at Unity College with Professor Christiana Kumar.
"My name is Courtney Hallmark and I live in Birmingham, Alabama. I am currently enrolled in my second year of Distance Education at Unity College. I was so relieved to find a way to chase my lifelong dream and further my education completely online. I have 3 kids under 5 years old, so the thought of going back to school was something I had given up on until I found Unity College's online program. I'm now able to continue being a stay-at-home mom, work a part-time job, and be a full-time student.
I am majoring in Marine Biology & Sustainable Aquaculture with concentrations in Emergency Disaster Management, Environmental Justice & Social Change, and Wildlife Ecology. My goal is to research ocean acidification in the Gulf of Mexico and become an advocate for the diverse marine ecosystems in the waterways of the state of Alabama. I'm also looking forward to periodically traveling to study families of humpback whales along the west coast of the United States.
I recently completed the Introduction to Oceanography course. I was so excited that my professor, Christiana Kumar, was so knowledgeable in the subject as well as having experience working with marine mammals. The professors I've had in Unity's Distance Education program are so beneficial to my learning experience and have a huge impact on the confidence I have in reaching my career goals."
