How growing up in Jamaica inspired me to be a scientist
How growing up in Jamaica inspired me to be a scientist. My mom and dad took me to the beaches and rivers at a young age, and being surrounded by nature made me curious about how the environment works. As a result, I pursued my bachelor's in marine biology and then my master's in biology while doing research in the Everglades. Now my long term goal is to bring more environmental awareness to Jamaica and also develop a research program for kids, exposing them to environmental science. Happy Independence Day to my home, Jamaica.
