Jennifer: Marysville tutor

Certified Tutor

I grew up in Wisconsin and have travelled to Australia, Spain, and Hawaii for educational purposes related to aquatic science. I love learning and cherish these experiences.

My educational background consists of a BA in Psychology with a Biological Science minor, a BS in Biology with an Emphasis on Marine Biology and Freshwater Ecology, and a Master of Environmental Studies. I have worked as a technician within the fish science unit at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, a community garden technician for the Nisqually Indian tribe, a cook for a homeless housing support non-profit, and for other governmental and non-profit community and environmental groups.

Since 1993 I have been enamored by cetaceans. An internship in Washington State led to my master's thesis investigating odontocete aging techniques and fisheries interactions specific to Hawaiian rough-toothed dolphins.

I would say some of my passions are protecting the environment, being outdoors, and exploring new places. I believe in teamwork and enjoy seeing or being a part of another person's success as it attributes to healthy outcomes.
