I'm Journey Feliciano, a senior at Drew Charter School. My main goal for the future is to study and get my degree in marine biology. Most of the volunteering I have done is for the environment, as that's one of the main things I enjoy working for. I also finished classes and obtained my open water diver's certificate in the summer of 2024, and hope to use it to further my knowledge on the underwater world. When I'm not working on projects or traveling, you'll find me drawing, skating, reading, or doing any other countless other hobbies I enjoy!
During the summer of 2024, I went to Puerto Rico to take classes and get scuba certified. This was only possible because of the OYA Dives program hosted by the Hispanic Access Foundation. This picture shows me and my instructor, Daniel, on our last dive before I was certified.
During the summer of 2024, after getting my scuba certification, I went to Ceiba, PR, to volunteer at ISER Caribe. I helped maintain corals, count urchins, and other general husbandry. I also went to their other location on isla magueyes to help collect urchins from traps.
During the summer of 2023, I worked for Trees Atlanta under their Youth Tree Team program. This allowed me to make some really good connections, and was overall really fun to do since everyone working there was around my age. My knowledge on trees and invasive plants is as good as it is thanks to this program!
