ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN TEAM & recognition
Boca Save our Beaches has released “Seymour’s First Journey into a Sea of Debris” – an interactive children’s workbook educating the young generation on the issue of marine debris and what we can do to help. In partnership with BSOB, I established an in-school program which made the local news!
