In this episode of Kristal Ocean Speaks, I share my early journey into marine science and ocean advocacy, reflecting on the profound ways God’s providence has guided my path. I talk about my childhood fascination with the ocean, the fears I had to overcome, and the defining moments that shaped my career. From my days working at a dive shop to my time at an aquarium, I open up about navigating challenges like the global recession and my winding road to college. I highlight the power of community, mentorship, and perseverance—and I encourage you to chase your God-given dreams with faith and determination.
