Intern, Summer 2024

I am currently a high school student in Edmonds, and I’ve lived here for my entire life. Growing up, I took a lot of trips to the beaches in Washington, and I’m excited to spend even more time there this summer. It’s very important to me that kids have positive influences in their lives, and I can’t wait to apply that to teaching them about beach safety and the environment.

Intern, Summer 2024

Hello! I’m Theia Vosburgh, and I will be a senior in high school next school year. I’ll be seventeen this June by the twenty-seventh. Some things about me are that my favorite color is blue, I like cats and dogs, and I have an older brother. In my free time, I like to read, write, and draw, I’m an avid reader of fantasy and sci-fi, but perfectly fine with getting out of my comfort zone. In school, I’m in book club and help usher for our school plays and musicals. My favorite food is noodle soup, and I love tea! I find the great expanse of space fascinating, and the moon and stars stunning.
