Middlebury Campus – Staff writer

For three semesters in college (September 2012 – February 2014)  I wrote for the campus newspaper.

“The Cocos Times”: The Voice of Cocos Island

 In the fall of 2011, I lived and worked on Cocos Island in the Pacific Ocean, a Costa Rican national park and marine preserve 300 miles from the mainland. While there, I wrote a blog for the Sea Save Foundation, an ocean conservation non-profit based in California. Below are the links to the blogs I contributed during my time on Cocos Island, from the Sea Save archives.
