I manage the Animal Rescue Program for Mystic Aquarium and work alongside the most dedicated, passionate, group of staff, volunteers, and interns who respond to, rescue, and rehabilitate marine mammals and sea turtles along our shoreline. When an animal comes in for rehabilitation, they receive world class care and are given every possible opportunity for a second chance at life out in the big blue. By donating to this fundraiser you not only support the dolphins, whales, seals, and sea turtles we respond to, but you join the village it takes to achieve our goal of sending each and every animal that comes through our clinic doors back to their ocean home.
When I decided to purse a career in this field, it was for my love of conservation and an opportunity to be a voice for the animals that call the ocean home. However, after many years of working in this field, my other greatest joy is getting the opportunity to work so closely with the local community who all share a similar passion of protecting and conserving our local wildlife. We truly couldn't do this work without you and cant thank you enough for all of your support.
