I first worked with LaDaryn when he arrived in San Diego. He was looking to break into the environmental science industry, where his research of local, community-based organizations led him to Ocean Connectors. LaDaryn was eager to assist with community engagement events, cleanups, field trips, and eco tours. He was a knowledgeable and hardworking volunteer that proved invaluable due to his experience working with youth as a science teacher. We hired LaDaryn to assist with our spring field trips, where his passion and work ethic have made him an asset to our team.
Janaira Quigley Executive Director, Ocean ConnectorsI have had the pleasure of watching La Daryn excel during his first year of undergraduate at Oklahoma State. He is a very goal oriented young man with high ambitions. La Daryn has excellent leadership qualities, and always strives to mature into the best candidate at whatever he in involved in. I would highly recommend him for any leadership position and/or occupation that he seeks, or that seeks him. I am confident he would always put 110% into it.

LaDaryn is someone who you can tell just oozes passion about the world! He is curious and mindful and that shows in his work, his endeavors, even his personality! I loved talking with LaDaryn because I felt like every word I said was fully embraced, pondered, and responded to without letting anything go by the wayside. He is someone who knows that the world needs more people to communicate science and nature in a meaningful way and is more than willing to step up to the plate himself to get it done!
