Michaela is born and raised in Beverly, MA and has been involved in whale conservation since 2016. Starting as an intern on a whale watch, she found all sorts of channels to get people excited about whales!! Currently she is working for a UK based whale and dolphin charity called ORCA where she lives aboard passenger ships to take data on whale and dolphin hot spots and critical habitats while hosting lectures and workshops relevent to the species and locations visited. When she is home she works for a company called The Whale Mobile - a life sized inflatable whale called Nile, who travels around the states to share the importance of whales with kids who might not get the opportunity to see whales in their habitats :) Basically just a dork about whales who loves any excuse to talk about them and inspire potential whale dorks out there Follow Field Stories - Instagram - @field_stories_podcast Hosted by Chris (@chrisketola), Michela (@michiganbiologist) and Nick (@nick_smith_wildlife_photos) Theme Music: "Honey Bee" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by/4.0/
