UW marine science grad student is changing the face of her field

At the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, grad student Chris Mantegna is living out her dream of becoming a marine scientist. Against the backdrop of the picturesque San Juan Islands, Mantegna leads a team of undergrad students in marine fieldwork like collecting shellfish DNA, aiming to uncover how to keep our ecosystem healthy for marine life and humans.

This video introduces Mantegna — a self-proclaimed “nontraditional student” in the UW School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences who raised her child as a single parent while attending classes — and her work gathering critical data to support the health of the ocean, and subsequently, the health of communities. She is a champion of bringing together diverse perspectives to “do the same thing, and see how we do it together.” She created the Yellow Island mentorship program in partnership with Black in Marine Science and the Nature Conservancy, offering hands-on experience for undergrads from underrepresented communities, and creating a supportive, inclusive environment where they can learn and practice marine science. The UW is a top-tier research institute, empowering students to follow their passions.
