Paola Espitia, M.Sc

Paola Espitia, M.Sc. is energizing a sea of Wavemakers. For two decades, she worked to understand and conserve coral reef ecosystems as a marine ecologist. Her research led her to dive Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, Belize’s Barrier Reef, and Cuba’s Jardines de la Reina National Park. But when she realized she could make a bigger impact by using her voice, she became a Speaker-at-Sea cruising over 30,000 nautical miles aboard world-class cruise lines educating thousands of people about ocean conservation. Today, Paola is Chozen's ocean expert and paddle guide.
