Catherine recently took the Marine Mammal and Seabird Biology course at Unity College with Professor Christiana Kumar.
"I am a high school Environmental and Marine Science teacher that decided to go back to school. I live in Tampa, Florida.
I chose Unity College because their Distance Education allowed me to go back to school and work on my degree while I continue to work as a teacher. I am currently working on my undergrad majoring in Marine Biology and Sustainable Aquaculture with a concentration in Wildlife Ecology and Animal Health and Behavior. Through my education, I hope to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to help me fulfill my dream of becoming a Marine Biologist. What I really like about my classes at Unity is the flexibility they offer. Being a teacher all day, it is nice to be able to focus on my own schooling outside of my work hours.
The Marine Mammal and Seabird course has so far been one of my favorite courses since it brought in other methods to help learn about marine mammals and seabirds. Utilizing an interactive tour video of Mount Desert Rock to study seabirds to using an online interactive simulator to track whales made the class feel more genuine in that it gave you this amazing experience without leaving your home.
In the future, I hope to become a Marine Biologist where I plan on focusing on the conservation of sea turtles and whale sharks."
