How I Live... Rescue & Release My Job Is Turtley Awesome

Most of my career so far I’ve been back and forth from New Zealand and Australia. I completed my university degree in Auckland, where I did a Bachelor of Science majoring in marine science, and I worked on the Auckland whale and dolphin explorer boat. I got to see the Hauraki Gulf and all the animals here, and I just fell in love with boats and the ocean!

Afterwards, I took off to Australia, staying in Port Douglas, and got a job out on the Great Barrier Reef as a marine biologist. I did that for about four and a half years before coming back to New Zealand, and it just happened perfectly that Kelly Tarlton’s was in need of an aquarist and I was in need of something cool to do!
