Miguel is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. Before joining the FAU Marine Lab, he assisted with plant biodiversity research. Miguel’s focus has now shifted to animals, and he is happy to support sea turtle research whilst communicating the science to the public as a Glenn W. and Cornelia T. Bailey Marine SEA Scholar He currently writes for our monthly newsletter and creates interactive educational materials. Working at the interface of research and outreach, Miguel hopes to educate others that the environment not only supports diverse animal species, but is also important for humanity. He also hopes to inspire others to have a positive impact on the natural world. Miguel enjoys working out, surfing, and rock climbing. He is also interested in getting certified as a scientific diver. An absolute must for Miguel after graduating is fulfilling his desire to travel to new places abroad. Miguel’s dream is to work for National Geographic as an explorer or presenter.
