Hiya!
My name is Brianna Roberts, and I just graduated from Cal Poly SLO with a BS in Ocean Engineering.
Some of the hobbies I enjoy are playing guitar, Surfing, painting, hiking, and free diving.
I have been passionate about the ocean for as long as I can remember. Solving problems and helping the ocean are what I want to incorporate into my career. I have some experience working on boats for my senior project. We built and deployed a deep sea lander with a video and bait system pressure rated to 1200m.
I will be leaving for an internship aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer deployed off of Bermuda assisting professional marine technicians for all the cruises for the duration of the month of April and into some of May 2023. I expect to learn how to deploy the different equipment that is aboard the R/V AE as well as fixing and cleaning various components when needed. I am so excited to immerse myself into the role of a marine technician and make connections along the way. I hope that this will open the door to many opportunities in the future revolving around Ocean Engineering and discovery.
Thanks to Maria Osiadacz for this incredible opportunity and to the people that have supported me to get here!
