Hello everyone!
The clock is slowly ticking until I leave for my new adventure to Bermuda. I leave in two days to arrive at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) for a 6 week internship aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer. These past few days have been slightly hectic with finishing my last days at work, packing for an extended stay, and organizing all the documents for my internship. All the effort will surely be worth it when I can finally step off the plane and begin my wonderful internship.
A little background of me, my name is Mason Schettig and I am from Wilmington, NC. I recently graduated from Cape Fear Community College receiving my degree in Marine Technology. Prior to graduation I’ve worked in the United States Coast Guard as a Marine Science Technician, along with waiting tables in many of the local restaurants. I am beyond excited to have this opportunity to expand my education as well as experience. Upon my completion of this internship I will be pursing a career with NOAA as a Hydrographic Survey Technician on one of their research vessels
Not too much to talk about now since I haven’t started the internship but next blog I hope to have some fun adventures to talk about after I hop into this incredible internship!
Until next time,
Mason Schettig
