For me, supporting the Kemp's ridley has not been work. This has been a labor of love. It is not easy to describe how I feel when I am in the presence of these sea turtles; it is a combination of being transported to the time of ancient sea life and bearing witness to a future that almost did not happen. I know what it is to literally hold a creature's future in the palm of my hands. What could compare?
Please join me as I take you on a journey with the rare sea turtles of the Gulf Coast. Come experience nesting season and the joy of being in the midst of the rarest sea turtles in the world. There is no other experience to rival this one.

My life with the Kemp's ridley sea turtles began in 2003. I was teaching at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi when a colleague of mine mentioned his volunteer work with the Division of Sea Turtle Science and Recovery at Padre Island National Seashore.
I couldn't wait to learn more and immediately signed up to become a member of the volunteer sea turtle patrol team. Initially, I volunteered on weekends and the days when I was not teaching at the university. Soon, though, I wanted to become more involved. I found that I really thrived on the days when I was engaged in serving at the seashore. It was exhilarating to be a part of something that would extend beyond my brief lifespan.
After four years of volunteer work, I had the extreme good fortune of being hired to work full-time as a seasonal biological technician on the sea turtle team. I was thrilled to be chosen to be a part of this extremely vital mission. This has truly been the experience of a lifetime.
