Hi Everyone!
My name is Tess Shaw, and I am looking forward to ~diving~
into my role as an Operations Intern at Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay this
summer!
I am originally from Connecticut and currently attend the
College of the Holy Cross where I am a rising senior. I am majoring in
Environmental Studies and minoring in Dance. I chose my major because I am extremely
passionate about the environment. I love my major because it spans a variety of
curricula, which allows me to investigate the environment and environmental
issues through several lenses. My coursework in marine biology and geology, in
particular, has led me to become interested in the effects of urbanization and
pollution on marine environments, as well as the prevention of environmental
degradation. After college, I hope to attend law
school, as I am interested in pursuing a career in environmental law. Outside
of school, I enjoy dancing, hiking, baking, and swimming in the ocean.
There are few things in life
that I enjoy more than being at the beach. From a young age, I have been
fascinated by the waves and "ocean critters” that live below and beyond them.
Some of my fondest memories are at the beach on Hilton Head Island with my
family. Being by the water makes my soul happy. Save the Harbor is located on
the Fish Pier overlooking the water—what more could I ask for?
I am fortunate to have the
opportunity to learn about the ins and outs of a non-profit, particularly one
with a mission that resonates with me. I am excited to spend my summer at Save
the Harbor/ Save the Bay!
