Hello all,
My name is Brian Samuelsen, I’m from Brooklyn New York and have just finished my Associate of Applied Sciences Maritime Technologies degree at Kingsborough Community College, and am pursuing a bachelor’s in marine engineering from SUNY Maritime starting in the fall.
I am privileged to have been chosen to be hosted by the STARC Team aboard the USCG Healy this summer to perform science expeditions and I could not be more excited. I hope to use the time to learn more about research instruments, Coast Guard operations, and just life at sea, as this is my first time going out for an extended period of time.
Some of my hobbies include video games, fishing, and hunting for fossils in New Jersey creeks. My favorite sports team is the New York Mets, and I am proud of my strong Irish heritage.
I will continue to post updates over the following weeks as I progress as an intern, and aim to provide an in-depth look at to what I get to learn from this experience.
