My name is Ariana Wright, and I am currently a junior in high school, homeschooled and pursuing a degree in Marine sciences. I have dedicated my time to various volunteer opportunities that align with my passion for the environment and community. My journey began with Girl Scouts, where I developed leadership skills and a commitment to service., which has led me to volunteering with Animal shelters and river-cleaning organizations. I am currently Volunteering with the Teen WAVE Foundation to help interpret exhibits at the Newport Aquarium for people of all backgrounds and ages and assist with the education of Campers through Camp WAVE.Through these experiences, I have honed my teamwork, communication, and organizational skills, all while deepening my understanding of Community and Education. I am excited to continue my journey in marine biology, aspiring to contribute to conservation efforts and inspire others about the importance of our oceans.
