Hi Angela, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What is a normal day like for you right now? “Normal” isn’t really in my vocabulary these days, and that’s exactly how I like it! My role as Director of Conservation Impact at WILDCOAST means every day brings something new and exciting. One day, you might find me at my computer, deep in the world of grant writing, working to secure the crucial funding that fuels our conservation efforts. The next, I could be out on the water, cruising in a boat as we visit our incredible marine protected areas. We’re often “ground-truthing” our radar systems and collecting vital data on everything from majestic whales and seabirds to microscopic plankton. And then there are the truly wild days! I might start my morning knee-deep in mud, actively restoring our precious local wetlands. By the afternoon, I could be swapping my boots for a suit, hopping on a plane, and heading to Sacramento to meet with senators to advocate for stronger conservation policies. It’s a dynamic mix, and it’s all in a day’s work when you’re passionate about protecting our coast and ocean! CLICK TO LEARN MORE
