2024 cohort
Brandilyn Castro is a student at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau, AK. She moved to Juneau from Phoenix two years ago to pursue her dream degree in marine biology. After earning her BS next spring, she will be moving on to a marine biology and policy graduate degree through UAF. She hopes to be involved in conservation-focused research on marine organisms of all kinds. Later in life, her goal is to be involved in international marine policy and management with a focus on public education to awaken the conservation biologist in anyone she can reach. In the meantime, she spends her time studying and working hard to meet these goals, snuggling with her two cats, and visiting new places around Juneau with her life partner.
