We are Macy DeGraw and Julia Bronneberg, rising seniors at Gallaudet University. We have a unique (and last-minute) opportunity to intern in Malta this July with EcoMarine Malta.

While our university is able to support our flight, lodging, and meal costs, we are inviting our network to support making ASL interpreter access abroad, possible. Would you consider joining us? Any amount counts and will be greatly appreciated.

Emma DeCaro and Eli Henriksen interpreted for us during Semester at Sea in Fall 2024 – a voyage of a lifetime. They know our areas of study and are available to join us in-person in Malta.

Thank you in advance for your consideration, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Internship activities:

Photo-identification and body mark analysis of dolphins using our long-term monitoring catalogue and field data.
Assisting with the ECHO-Ai project, which integrates artificial intelligence for the processing of marine acoustic recordings.
Social media content creation to promote ocean awareness and dolphin conservation.
Supporting the revision of the research section of our website, helping to improve the communication of our scientific work.
Contributing to sustainable tourism and educational outreach, supporting respectful and informed interactions with marine life.
Participating in a collaborative initiative with Viviana Premazzi (Global Mindset Development) to promote awareness of the Mediterranean marine environment, its cultural significance, and its links to migration and local communities.
Engaging in a cross-cultural exchange with the Deaf Association Malta, where we can create space for dialogue and reflection on different experiences and program structures between Malta and the USA, particularly in the fields of inclusion, education, and marine/environmental engagement and the MUFFIN project.
