Hi Everyone!
My name is Jenn Willson and I am very excited to join the HOTS team this week on the R/V Kilo Moana as a MATE intern. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Oceanography. In my time at UW, I worked as a research assistant with the Ocean Observatories Initiative where I spent two summers on board the R/V Thompson performing maintenance on the Regional Cabled Array. In my senior year, I worked at the Applied Physics Lab with the NW Environmental Moorings Team where I gained more technical experience. Both of these experiences inspired me to continue learning about marine technology as a MATE intern this fall!
I am incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to join the team of the R/V Kilo Moana for two research cruises this October. I’m looking forward to writing all about it on this blog in the coming weeks!
Jenn
