Julie is a Senior Lab Technician and Associate
Faculty for Biological Sciences and Marine Science Technology for Saddleback
College for over 27 years. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Biological Sciences with emphasis in Marine Sciences from San Diego State
University and is a certified SCUBA diver, scientific diver, small boat
operator and collects, maintains and propagates a variety of marine
organisms in approximately 3,200 gallons of temperate and tropical marine
aquarium systems.
In addition to her fulltime job as technician, where
she preps, maintains and manages instructional supplies, instruments and
equipment used in the biological sciences, she also teaches part time for
Biology and Aquarium Science. She also oversees the new Aquarium
and Aquaculture Science program and supporting aquarium lab facility.
As a long-time enthusiast for the oceans, marine ecology and the global
conservation efforts of threatened marine ecosystems, she was instrumental
in the development of a new Certificate/Degree program, Aquarium &
Aquaculture Science, which was officially accredited by the State Chancellor's
Office, October 2003, and is the first and only in the State of California.
Over $72,000 of supplies, equipment and funding have been received over
the past 10 years from the grassroots, pilot course in 1998 to present
day. Several major Industry, Research Facilities and Public Aquariums,
Interpretive Centers and Organizations have partnered with Saddleback Colleges'
new Aquarium & Aquaculture Science Program and provide supplies, equipment,
advisory in curriculum and program review, and sponsor "real" worksite
experience through various workshops and back scenes tours.
