Amanda developed her interest in marine mammal science while an undergraduate student at UC San Diego. During her time at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, she volunteered with NOAA’s marine mammal stranding and rescue lab. After completing her B.S. in Marine Biology in 2023, she joined the NMMP’s Night Watch crew. She then worked as a trainer on the research pier before eventually joining the Foundation as a Research Assistant. Outside of work, Amanda loves to scuba and snorkel, read, and practice yoga. She can’t wait to continue learning about bioacoustics and marine mammal physiology!
