Last week, we bid a fond farewell to our 2024 interns. Izzy Plank joined us this year as our deckhand educator. This position involved a strong emphasis on crew skills and program instruction. Izzy combined those skills expertly, bringing a positive attitude and a wealth of knowledge to every program. Lia Cook came aboard this fall as our fall education intern. She hit the ground running making an immediate impact on both our Schoolship and ROV programs. Always with a smile and a can-do attitude, Lia has been an invaluable asset to our programs. We are incredibly proud of the work they have done this season and we can't wait to see what they do next!
