Alanna is a senior at the University of Oregon studying psychology, ethics, and biology. She has always been inspired and intrigued by the ocean. Alanna was SCUBA certified by the age of thirteen and has since traveled for diving, including locations such as Belize, Hawaii, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. She has a personal connection to this project since she would love to see the reef recover to the state that it was in when she initially visited it.
