Description
Hey there! I’m Teagan, a marine biology grad from Canada, currently taking a bit of a pause before starting my Master’s. I previously studied whales and worked on marine research projects, and the ocean is definitely where I feel most at home.
Right now, I’m hoping to build more hands-on skills, especially sailing and diving, before heading back into research. I want to really understand the ocean from the inside out, not just academically but practically too. I’m a fast learner, happy to help with whatever’s needed, and genuinely excited to learn from people with experience on the water.
Alongside my science background, I’ve also volunteered as a private cook across Canada and in New York City. Food has always been one of my favourite ways to connect with people. I love how food and language can bring people together.
I’m adaptable, easygoing, and not afraid of hard work. Whether it’s helping onboard, cooking for the crew, cleaning, organizing, or just being an extra set of hands, I’m happy to jump in and contribute.
In my free time, I love photography, volleyball, and oil painting; anything creative or outdoors makes me happy.
If you’re looking for someone enthusiastic, reliable, and excited to learn, I’d love to connect 🌊
