Why are you running for WHOI and ocean science?
I am SO excited to run for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Team in the 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution continually searches the ocean to find ways to sustain, maintain, and protect its biodiversity for life by implementing innovative techniques that counter the effects of climate change on our oceans and on our planet. To support their mission, I am honored and pleased to run summer's Falmouth Road Race with Team WHOI. Please help me raise funds for our ocean environment. Thank you! 
What do you love about the ocean?
I love EVERYTHING about the ocean! Living on Cape Cod, I enjoy exploring low tide and swimming underwater to see the various shellfish and horseshoe crabs. In the Cape Cod Canal, what a treat it is to see the occasional seals, whales, and ocean sunfish!
Why (what) do you enjoy about running?
Besides creating my art, running is my muse. It brings me to a quiet and reflective place with myself and nature. The longer I run, even with those rolling hills, my mantra is, "She believed she could, so she did!"
What else would you like to share about yourself?
When I was working as a STE(A)M middle school teacher (now retired), I had the opportunity to share my love of science with my students. Using our Engineering Design Process, my classes learned about STE(A)M through independent, real-life team activities. Observing their work and offering hands-on tools to create their final project was exciting for all of us!
Description
Our Ocean. Our Planet. Our Future.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a world-class community of researchers, engineers, technologists and students working together to find solutions to critical environmental challenges facing humanity and our ocean planet.
We are working together to support ocean science at WHOI. As we join together to RACE FOR THE OCEAN, you help WHOI place big bets on science to accelerate the search for climate solutions, keep ocean habitats healthy and marine life thriving, and explore new possibilities for human lives and livelihoods.
By supporting me, you are also supporting solutions-based science by giving WHOI scientists and engineers the flexibility they need to identify and pursue critical research priorities in a changing ocean. Together, we can create an ocean of possibilities!
