Hi there! Welcome to my Remote Professional Practice.

What work did I do?

Created basic information, including keywords that can be used in a filter function, to search the database of species present on the website.
Wrote interesting facts about some of the species on the website.
Created maps to show the locations of various species on the Kahi Kai website
Created a datasheet that contained basic information and categorised all the species currently present on the Kahi kai images website
Created a a quiz that can be embedded into the website as a way to learn more about certain species

Did You Know?

The attractive colours of the small giant clam are the result of crystalline pigment cells. These are thought to protect the clam from the effects of intense sunlight, or bundle light to enhance the algae's photosynthesis.

Skills acquired:

COMMUNICATION

Working remotely improved my communication skills. I incorporated sites like Zoom, Slack and WhatsApp, in order to communicate and share ideas and feedback with my group mates and supervisors.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Development of time management skills was crucial in order to fulfill the necessary hours and effectively complete the tasks at hand. I achieved this through discipline and by creating and sticking to a timetable or work schedule. I also used focus enhancing tools such as applications that disable distractions from the phone or laptop

INNOVATION

we all created space for each other’s ideas to be heard (both supervisor and students alike.) This gave me the creative freedom when it came to coming up with new innovative ideas for the website

NETWORKING

I had an opportuity to interact with various people in the field of marine biology such as other students and professors, in the process exchanging ideas while simultaneously creating a network within the Kahi Kai community

Check out the work I did!

Take the quiz to find out what coral reef creature you are, as well as learn some interesting facts about them!
