Leo Couchon (Leg 2)

HelIo I’m Leo! (they/them) I am a community college transfer student now entering my second year at the University of Washington double majoring in Marine Biology and Oceanography. My academic journey is driven by a fascination for microbiology and holistic ecosystem maintenance. One of the first things that drew me to the ocean and continues to fuel my passion is my love for boats. Being aboard the R/V Atlantis marks the beginning of a lifelong dream of working both on and off the water. I am dedicated to advancing marine conservation but never imagined I could become a scientific researcher! Joining this team is a dive into the world of maritime science and realizing my visions of a future dedicated to the sea.
