Bucket List: Kristina Phipps

In the future I see myself with my PhD in Marine biology. I want to do research on marine mammals and penguins and discover new information on these species. To receive my PhD, I must first get my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree. 

My dream job would be working with an organization to do research on marine species and wildlife to help conserve their populations and ecosystems. With a research job I hope to receive the opportunity to travel the world and see places like Italy, Australia, Africa, Galapagos Islands, and Ireland. 

Because of the job that I want, I know I will be away from my family most of the time and because of this I hope to have the money to have them meet me or go see them often throughout the year. Family holds a special place in my heart and because of this I want a family of my own someday. What my family will look like doesn’t really matter to me if we are happy and have some pets with us. 

I plan to spend most of my days on the beach or traveling through the states to each major aquarium and zoo. As I make friends through my schooling and jobs, we would hang out doing things we love in nature like hikes or creating music. Someday I plan to produce a song start to finish and release it for the world to hear.
