Maria Mitchell Assoc – The Nature of Nantucket – Chelsea Petrik

This week on the podcast, host Joanna Roche of the Maria Mitchell Association sits down with Chelsea Petrik, the MMA's new Aquarium Manager, to learn more about her background and what brought her to Nantucket. Chelsea shares her origin story, including where she grew up, how she developed a passion for marine science, and the experiences that led her into the field. The two also discuss Chelsea's vision for the aquarium this summer, her current research project, and the valuable contributions of the MMA's summer interns. It's a great opportunity to get to know one of the newest members of the MMA team and hear about the exciting work happening at the aquarium this season.
