Hello Everyone!

My name is Hannah Klooster. I am currently a student at Northwestern Michigan College in the Marine Technology Bachelors program. I just completed my second year of school, so I still have a few more years before my instruction will be complete.

I am only a few days away from flying out to San Diego where I will be boarding the University of Alaska’s R/V Sikuliaq. The past few days have been a bit hectic, but also very exciting; making sure that I had all of the necessary documents complete for my internship and as I begin to pack.

In my college courses, I have had technological experience with a few different sonar and ROV systems. I am very excited for this opportunity to broaden my education and experiences. I am also quite honored to have been chosen for this internship and am greatly looking forward to it.

I will be posting another entry sometime later this week, after I have arrived in San Diego and have settled on the R/V Sikuliaq.
