From small fry intern to “trophy” Comms Manager

Where it all started! Colles’ guest lecture at the Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture class!

When I first started at One Fish, I was a Marine, Estuarine, and Freshwater Biology student at the University of New Hampshire, and most of my research was focused on climate change and ocean acidification (OA).

We also learned how to properly identify the sex of a lobster!

After leaving UNH for health reasons, I continued my work with One Fish, and in late 2019, Colles offered me a chance to work with the Slow Fish North America planning teams for the Slow Fish 2020 network-wide conference in New Hampshire. As many of you know, that gathering was ill-fated (thanks, COVID), but we pivoted to a series of webinars called Crew Together.
