Student Voice - Faith Trammell
Faith has lived in Oceanside her whole life, growing up in a military family and very
active in performing arts. After some career exploration, she realized a strong call
to explore the deep oceans and set her career goal to be a chemical oceanographer.
Faith noticed how Japan provides opportunities for her in her chosen field. 鈥淛apan
alone has contributed鈥� about one fifth of Oceanographic data, 鈥渁dvancing the understanding
of our oceans and their endless uses to aid societal development. The biodiversity
of marine life surrounding Japan and how it got there provides multitudes of opportunity
in the study of blooming ecology and ocean movement鈥�. Consequently, there are more
Japanese government-funded job opportunities and technologies for chemical oceanographers
than available through private entities in the United States. She hopes to work in
Japan some day.
Towards this goal, Faith is working on her GE requirements at 美姬社区, and to transfer
to a four-year university with a strong oceanography program. She also started taking
Japanese classes to prepare for the opportunities in Japan.
