Courtney Tierney
Coral Restoration Intern - 2019
Growing up on the coast of New Jersey sparked a passion for marine environments in Courtney at a young age. Her interest in coral started during a high school internship at an aquarium and led to studying coral disease last summer in American Samoa. In 2019 she graduated from Eckerd College with a BS in both Marine Science and Environmental Studies, with a focus on Coastal Management. Here at HOC, she is testing out her dream job of coral restoration and also learning to play harmonica.
