Speaker Bio
Our inaugural speaker is Marley Parker, a photographer, videographer, writer, and ocean explorer who's spent nearly a decade aboard expeditions with NSF, NASA, NOAA Ocean Exploration, WHOI, and the Ocean Exploration Trust. Her work has appeared across numerous outlets from CNN to The New York Times to a TED Talk at the National Academy of Sciences.
Since becoming a full-time independent contractor in 2018, she has joined over two dozen ocean science expeditions on various research vessels in the Pacific, the North Atlantic, the Caribbean, and the Antarctic Peninsula.
A life-long storyteller, Marley honed her writing and photography skills as a student at the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, where she also learned audio and video production. She graduated with a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in Spanish.
