Since receiving the WDHOF Graduate Scholarship in Marine Conservation in 2012, Jessica has been on a whirlwind adventure. Inspired by the scholarship, Jessica created a new National Park Service (NPS) Junior Ranger Booklet dedicated to informing children about water resources within National Parks. With additional support from NPS’s Submerged Resources Center and Ocean and Coastal Resources Branch, she designed and published an activity booklet called Underwater Explorer, a supplement to the NPS Junior Ranger Program. The booklet is free and available in participating National Parks across the country and a digital version can be downloaded from the Submerged Resources Center’s website. Underwater Explorer is aimed at children ages 7-14 and presents information about both fresh and salt water resources. A variety of activities, such as word searches, matching games, and “at home” activities, bring awareness to numerous water-related themes. As public domain, this booklet can be used in parks, classrooms, or at home to introduce children to the underwater world. As part of the Junior Ranger Program, Underwater Explorer badges are awarded to children who submit the Junior Ranger pledge at the end of the booklet. Jessica hopes this new booklet will create interest in our submerged resources and promote conservation across the country through a new generation of underwater explorers. In addition to the Underwater Explorer booklet, Jessica completed her M.S. degree from Indiana University and is now an archaeologist with the National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Center. Through both work and personal opportunities, Jessica completed training for Evolution closed circuit rebreathers and open-circuit trimix, cavern and basic cave diving, and plans to continue her dive training with mixed-gas closed circuit and rebreather cave dive training. Jessica also maintains her emergency medical technician (EMT-B) capability within her Park Service team, and is now an active DAN Instructor, SOS Hyperlite Emergency Hyperbaric Stretcher Operator, and NBDHMT Diver Medic Technician (DMT). In early May of 2013, Jessica was awarded the Department of Interior’s highest service recognition, the Valor Award, for her part in saving the life of a coworker in 2012 during a rebreather diving accident at Lake Mead. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel personally presented Jessica with a certificate and medal during an annual Department of the Interior convocation ceremony in Washington, D.C. Jessica is excited for what the future may hold and is very grateful for the numerous opportunities and experiences provided by WDHOF. Her goal is to continue working as an archeologist for the National Park Service, while expanding her knowledge and skill development in both diving and diving medicine.
