We are excited to welcome Rose Kelly to the REEF team as an Education Coordinator! Rose is based at the REEF Campus in Key Largo, FL. She grew up in Bethesda, MD, and traveled to Florida every spring for family vacations. She has a deep love for snorkeling, beach walks, and exploring the coast. Rose graduated from Providence College with a B.S. in environmental biology. During her time at Providence, Rose served on Student Congress, worked as a school event planner, and traveled to Cairns, Australia, to pursue research on animals in the tropics. Prior to joining the REEF team, she served as the head of education at a small Chesapeake Bay Aquarium, where she discovered her passion for environmental education and inspiring people to learn more about hands-on conservation. As an Education Coordinator, Rose is excited to form connections and assist with the REEF Ocean Explorers Education program! In her free time, she loves traveling, trying new foods, and attempting trivia. Please join us in welcoming Rose to the REEF team!
