My Travel Story

Being accepted to this program and having this opportunity to study living biology in an underwater environment would allow me to expand my learning in ways I've never imagined. As a biology student in SUNY Purchase, this program will count towards my degree completion with four upper-level credits. I will be conducting research and experiments in classroom, lab and field environments to learn more about the coral reef systems. During my stay, I will be certified in scuba diving which will take 3-4 days so I can get close to the organisms that dwell in the coral reef ecosystems.

Having hands-on work in this underwater ecosystem would allow me to encounter learning in an entirely different way. I am passionate about this program because I had the opportunity to travel to Matagalpa, Nicaragua a couple years ago and was capable of gaining skills that stuck with me the rest of my life. I believe this Coral Reef program will benefit me by preparing me towards a career as a Biologist.
