We can't stand by while our ocean transforms into a garbage dump, has more plastic than fish in the sea, and acidification crumbles coral reefs into bones.  image

Join me and help protect our ocean

My passion for the ocean was ignited when I visited the Island School in the Bahamas during sixth grade. The trip was sponsored by the Scott Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Hillbrook School. I learned the importance of sustainability and how the life of the ocean is being threatened.

When I held a young sea turtle in my lap, I could not help but feel protective and passionate for not just this turtle--but all turtles around the world. That trip changed my life and I will never forget the beauty of the ocean or the threat it’s under.

For the following three years I created a children’s book named, “Natalie the Narwhal”. My net profits will be donated to Mission Blue. I also created a page named TWNBlue (The World Needs Blue) on Instagram and Facebook where I share inspirational stories and post photos that show the glorious beauty of the ocean.

The ocean needs your help in desperate times. Small acts make a big difference.
