My superpowers? 🦸🏽‍♀️ ADHD and a career in diving.

💡ADHD allows me to be meticulous, hyper-focused, and thorough. 🤿 Scuba instruction has taught me to be organized, safety-oriented, and a clear communicator + the power of briefings, debriefings, mapping, and roll call.

🌟Briefings look different these days.
They used to be all to teach underwater skills and instruction. Now they’re focused on communicating how we will safely and efficiently show up, collect, record, and remove garbage from our shores.

I spend more time mobilizing people and planning shore cleanups than scuba diving nowadays. And I love it. I love both. Because these two ‘jobs’ coexist and one can’t survive without the other.

I love this. 🫶🏽
