St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network Nonprofit organization

It's that time of the week! Our In Water Team is getting started on their Sunday swim.

It’s Volunteer Monday! Today we are excited to introduce you to Nyahla Maccabbee! Nyahla is a student at Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College and is currently participating Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine’s Summer Internship Program for which she has been placed with the SKSTMN.

SKSTMN: How did you become involved with the SKSTMN?
Nyahla: One on my first encounters with the SKSTMN was when I attended their annual Sea Turtle Camp in 2016. This helped shaped my decision of choosing the career path that I'm now pursuing. I am also working with Dr. Stewart as an Intern for the summer.

SKSTMN: What is your favorite species of sea turtle?
Nyahla: I don't really have a favorite, but leatherbacks really interest me. They are huge and also distinctly different and unique from the other species in my opinion.

SKSTMN: What are some of your hobbies, favorite things to do on the island?
Nyahla: I enjoy reading, taking walks, exploring new things or old ones (mills and sugar plantations), swimming, writing, and creating art.

SKSTMN: Anything else you want to tell us?
Nyahla: I want to become a marine biologist, and I feel like I'm already taking steps in the right direction with this internship.

Our In Water Team is hard at work this morning at South Friars!
