Please join us in welcoming our fall onboard education interns!
Will Cutshall
Hey all, my name is Will and I couldn’t be more excited to be the new education intern! As a recent college graduate there is no other way I’d rather spend my fall then working on the sloop Clearwater helping educate youth on the importance of environmental responsibilities. I became attracted to Clearwater after realizing how similar the organization’s philosophy is with my own. I have always been a strong believer in connecting education with hands on experience which I believe leads to a more fulfilling, personal, and lasting source of educational enrichment. I can’t wait to keep you all updated with the awesome programs we have coming up and to share my experience onboard Clearwater!
Maura Niemisto
Hello dear readers, I’m Maura, one of the new education interns onboard the Clearwater for the fall season. Although I am new to sloop sailing, I grew up on Lake Michigan and have learned to appreciate the great importance that healthy watersheds have in our lives and environment. I graduated this year from the University of Michigan in Environmental Studies and Ecology, and though I’m a Great Lakes gal, I’m excited to learn and teach more about the Hudson River Estuary and the river’s interaction with the ocean. I’m also super stoked about all the new salt- and brackish water critters I get to meet in person! As a member of the Clearwater crew, I look forward to sharing some of my adventures and experiences on this blog, as well as the things I may learn from the passengers and students who sail with us.
