Hello everyone! 

My name is Alesha Gregoire and I am a recent graduate of Maine Maritime Academy. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology and Small Vessel Operations where I got my able body seaman certification and a 200 ton mates license.

I am excited to join the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami aboard the F.G. Walton Smith. I am excited to help out with anything on board, as I have prior deckhand experience and some engineering experience through school. This is perfect for the engine replacement project that is scheduled while aboard.

More about myself, I am a certified PADI SCUBA diver, I love being on or around the ocean (whether that is boating or performing science or sitting at the beach), and during the winter time I enjoy skiing. I recently completed my undergrad project on investigating the clearance rate of microplastics in the Jonah Crab’s digestive system.
