I’m Danita Miles and I’m a intern at UCSB (University of California Santa Barbara). I work with the REEF (The Research Experience & Education Facility) program under the supervision of Scott Simon. My current mentors have not been chosen yet, seeing as Scott wants to match me with the right people.
I have been working with the Emma who is the abalone specialist, and also with Nora the lead aquarist, along with a couple of interns from the university. So far I had to complete my IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) training as REEF is a federally funded program.
I have also been helping with programs  showing the animals we currently have, and feeding and cleaning the fish tanks. I also have the chance to help with the endangered black and white abalones. The internship is amazing so far and I get to learn more and more each day!
Thank you Pinhead for the amazing opportunity!
