Tristany (Before):

Hi. My name is Trista and I’m a seventeen year old senior in High School in California. I live in the desert, but plan on attending college by the coast, in San Diego, California. I want to major in Environmental/Coastal Science and eventually have a career dealing with ocean research, conservation and/ or marine mammal research, rescue and rehabilitation. To get ready for my future goals, I became certified in Open Water, Advanced and Rescue Scuba this past summer. I plan on volunteering during college to help protect the ocean, or maybe I’ll be able to get an internship with one of the local cities or businesses.

I come from a big family, there are eight of us. I have three sisters (ages 19, 13, and 11) and two small brothers (ages 6 and 5), both adopted a few years ago. One of my favorite activities is playing soccer. I have played for the past twelve years usually as a left wing, and hope to play in college. I have also participated in volleyball, track and the school yearbook as the Sports Editor. I’m real interested in Photography, and also love music, especially rap, hip hop, R & B and dancehall. I am looking forward to meeting everybody and I’ll see you in June.
