Caroline earned her BSc in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth. While already surfing and snorkelling it was here that her Scuba Diving hobby took off and her passion for the marine environment flourished. She then worked at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research, (where she published her first piece of work in the Journal of Crustaceana) before moving to the MOTE Marine Lab in the Florida Keys. Here she cultured and grew coral mainly for transplant on the reef, while using her new commercial scuba qualification to do the initial transplant dives and the monitoring dives that followed.
Caroline has since returned to Plymouth and is currently working at the National Marine Aquarium as Schools Programme Co-ordinator. She is also working on the European funded project PENCIL (Permanent European Resource Centre for Informal Learning) and the Eur-oceans project (European Network of Excellence for Ocean Ecosystems Analysis).
"NESTA Famelab was an exciting opportunity to see if I had what it takes to communicate science. I am passionate about our planet and enjoy sharing what I know with others, it was too good an opportunity to miss. The competition was great fun and I highly recommend people have a go even if it’s just to challenge themselves! I am incredibly excited about going to the final and learning some new skills along the way. Thank you NESTA Famelab."
