I’m sending you a virtual high-five for finding my page! Hi, I’m Jamie, and I am fueled by dirty chai lattes and a passion for expanding access to marine science education. I am a Ph.D. researcher in Dr. Matt Ramirez's Lab at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington (UNCW’s Center for Marine Science), studying sea turtle 🐢 age estimation techniques and population ecology for conservation management. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of South Carolina in Marine Science with an emphasis in Biological Oceanography. Thereafter, I worked at the NOAA Fisheries Beaufort, NC Laboratory for 5 years in fish 🐟 and sea turtle 🐢 life history. While working towards my Ph.D. in Marine Biology at UNCW, I aspire to gain analytical skills and apply them to conserving protected species. Outside the lab, you’ll find me beach combing, building things in the garden, or at the dog park with my pup, Dexter. Quick information here: linktr.ee/jamie.clark_seaturtleager |

I thoroughly enjoy mentorship as I believe it is my way to pay forward my knowledge, experiences, and connections for the benefit of future scientists. I am dedicated to sharing marine science with historically-excluded communities to improve diverse representation in STEM fields. I believe everyone deserves equal opportunities to achieve their dreams. I also strongly believe that science and education go hand in hand; teaching others about the importance of science is my most cherished element and devotion as a marine scientist. |
