Marine Sciences Professor
I am a marine sciences teacher inspiring students to pursue careers in science.
I teach a vareity of marine science and ecology classes so my daily tasks can be different based off of what subject I am teaching. Since I teach at the community college level, my main task every day is to figure out how to communicate the different subject areas effectively to students who are new to college or may have never had any exposure to these topics. Other daily tasks also include creating lesson plans and syllabi for my classes and grading papers.
Here's the first step for college students
Get involved. Join a club, volunteer / work in a lab, conduct independent research, etc. Discover the many different ways your major can be applied and the opportunities that it will give you.
