Please join us in welcoming Dylan Sanchez to the REEF team as our new Outreach Coordinator, based at the REEF Campus in Key Largo.
Born and raised in Miami, Dylan grew up spending much of his time in the Florida Keys. Being around the ocean from a young age sparked a passion for marine conservation that has shaped his path ever since. He graduated from Florida International University in 2025 with a B.A. in Sustainability and the Environment, focusing on marine biology. Before joining REEF, Dylan worked throughout South Florida in outreach, education, and conservation roles. Along the way, he discovered a love for bringing people closer to the ocean through community outreach, storytelling, and hands-on conservation.
Dylan is excited to be part of REEF's growing efforts to connect people with the ocean and to help create experiences that inspire curiosity, community involvement, and long-term stewardship. When he's not working, you'll find Dylan reading mystery novels, cooking, tending his fish tanks, or out with his camera doing wildlife photography.
Welcome aboard, Dylan! We're thrilled to have you.
