Ocean Science Scholar - Marine Education Intern
“Liv is thrilled to be joining the team at CCMI in Little Cayman for the summer!
Born and raised in Grand Cayman, Liv developed a passion and curiosity for nature and the environment at an early age. Whilst attending Cayman Prep, Liv participated in the Year 6 Marine Ecology Course and now, this summer, she will be there supporting the visiting students attending CCMI. Liv went on to attend Gordonstoun School in Scotland which has a keen focus on service and its broader curriculum, embarking on unaccompanied expeditions into the mountains, sail vessel training and discovering her passion for photography.
Obtaining her Advanced and Rescue dive certificates in Cayman during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowed her to actively work and volunteer with the Cayman Islands Department of Environment on the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Response Team. Liv is also a certified lifeguard and actively involved in diving, surfing and conservation groups, both in Cayman and abroad.
In addition, last summer Liv covered over 1,700 miles as part of a crew sailing from Svalbard, in the Arctic Circle to Plockton in the West Coast of Scotland before starting University. Liv has just completed her initial year, pursuing a 3-year BA Honours degree at Falmouth University. Her area of study is focused on marine and natural history photography, capturing and documenting the diverse world above, and below the surface.”
