Hey, I’m Chloë and I’ve escaped rainy England to spend some time at SASC! I have worked on some incredible conservation projects, both land and marine based, and last year I had the best time with + as an intern studying sharks and rays.
I love spending as much time in the water as possible and am a keen scuba diver, I’m looking forward to lots of snorkelling through the kelp!
I am keen to learn everything SASC has to offer 🦈
