We're
pleased to introduce the newest member of our team, Amelia Dotzenrod.
She'll be blogging for us from San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, where
she's leading our coastal conservation efforts in the surfing
community. First up, her bio:
"The
sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder
forever.”
Jacques Cousteau
My first connection to the wonder and power that the ocean inspires. I
learned to surf as a little girl on vacation in Hawaii, and knew
after catching my very first wave that I would surf for the rest of
my life. Raised in Charleston, South Carolina, I surfed the
Charleston beaches. As my surfing abilities grew, so did my love for
the ocean. In high school, I spent summers working as a surf
instructor. Showing others the magic of the ocean convinced me to
dedicate my life to helping people find solace and hope in the sea
and in every creature that calls the ocean home. Having just
graduated, my first post-college adventure is as a Surf Ambassador
for Paso Pacífico. I am excited to be part of an organization that
works closely with community members, and to be starting my career in
ocean conservation and community development. Connecting with the
local surf community, I will help ensure that the natural world of
Nicaragua remains beautiful and awe-inspiring for years to come.
