About Aisha:
- Hi! I came to the University of Washington with an appetite for exploration in the ocean. In the past few years I have been involved in Dr. Deborah Giles’ Killer Whale research, Ocean Observatories Initiative’s VISIONS cruise aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson, and as a mechanical engineer on the UW Remotely Operated Vehicles team. In my free time I serve as captain of the UW Equestrian team! I am passionate about making ocean science accessible to underrepresented communities and work with different industries to do so.

About Erin:
- Currently, I’m pursuing an undergraduate degree in Earth and Space Sciences: Geoscience. I’ve just begun studying at UW and since I don’t want to limit myself, there’s no specific area of study that I’m interested in. My previous leadership experience includes being a part of my high school’s Associated Student Body and a Media Coordinator for its environmental club. I enjoy reading, baking, and kayaking (when the weather permits it) outside of my academics.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, racquet sports, and photography!
