This year's keynote speaker Madelin Jimenez-Andersen is the Multimedia Communications Coordinator at the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. Madelin has a background in marine ecology and conservation, starting her career as a scientific diver at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Science. She earned her Master of Science in Marine Biology in 2022 through the combined BS/MS program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where she developed a passion for phycology and seaweed art as a member of the Smith Lab. As a graduate teaching assistant for the online course Bending the Curve: Climate Change Solutions, Madelin found a passion for online education and videography. She then interned at NOAA Ocean Exploration, where she produced a video series on deep-sea exploration and conservation, featuring footage from expeditions and interviews with scientists. In her current role at the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, Madelin films and produces multimedia content to advance ocean conservation efforts across the marine sanctuary system. She is dedicated to involving scientists and conservation leaders in the visual design and storytelling process, while emphasizing the diverse backgrounds and unique contributions of individuals in the ocean conservation field. Madelin also creates seaweed art and is a freelance photographer and videographer alongside her partner, Timmy Reyes.
