If you’ve ever dreamed of working in marine conservation or becoming a marine scientist, especially in hands-on, field-based roles, this episode is for you.
In this honest and unfiltered solo episode, I’m sharing three things I’m learning in real time about building a career in marine science. This isn’t advice from someone who has “made it.” It’s perspective from someone in the messy middle: balancing seasonal field work, bartending shifts, continuing education, networking attempts, and ocean-sized dreams.
Together we'll chat about:
- Why you probably won’t find your dream marine conservation job on Indeed
- Why passion alone doesn’t pay the bills (but still matters deeply)
- Why non-linear, zigzag career paths are actually the norm in this field
This isn’t polished advice. This is my lived experience.
If you're navigating the scrappy season of marine conservation, trust me, you've got this. This one is for you.
