Bre currently works full time with Dr. Rosemond coordinating the Emerge program and part time with The Alongside Wildlife Foundation. She obtained her B.Sc. in Marine Science-Biology from the University of Tampa in 2010 and her M.Sc. in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology at Clemson University in 2021. In between degrees, Bre lived in coastal Georgia for ten years working on Jekyll Island, first serving four terms with AmeriCorps, then working as an interpretive park ranger, and later supervising and mentoring several cohorts of AmeriCorps Members. During that time, she gained well-versed experience in sea turtle, box turtle, and freshwater turtle research and monitoring; as well as with leading public education programs in coastal ecology. She hopes to continue mastering the skills necessary to contribute to meaningful work in any of a number of fields related to geospatial science, natural resource conservation and equity, and viable human-wildlife coexistence.
