Dreams, Life and Aquaculture

Has life ever come between you and your dreams? Did you pursue things along the way and life stepped in to interject, putting you on a whole new trajectory, taking you away from where you thought you would go? In life and professionally, I have seen this happen many times. The funny thing about it is we never know if, how or when the dream will resurface to become a new opportunity and come back into our life at a later time. Keeping a spark of your dream inside of you alive, and not letting go; it can light up and set the world on fire once again. It is all a part of life's journey.

Back in ’84, fresh out of high school, I worked at a trout-stocked pay lake in Northern California and soon realized that being around fish and farming fish was not only a great way of life but an industry of the future. Instead of pursuing an ordinary, traditional path into the sciences or arts, I decided to gain an education in cold, then warm water aquaculture. My dream was to become an ichthyologist and raise freshwater species and then life got in the way…

I married, had children and raised my family, had a successful business (in another industry), got divorced, became more educated, then became an educator, career counselor and recruiter and advanced in my career … life had been good to me but I never utilized my fisheries education. Until now…

Continuing my professional journey, I am proud to announce that I am now with AquacultureTalent and we have just opened an office in California, as the company expanded its activity in North America. AquacultureTalent is a successful and growing Norwegian recruitment company focused specifically on the aquaculture, fisheries and seafood industry.

My goal: To connect the best talent in the industry with aquaculture and seafood career opportunities in North America and beyond.

I am excited that my background including fisheries brought me full circle back into the industry I LOVE. I look forward to bringing my professional experience, knowledge, passion and positive energy to help the aquaculture and seafood industries grow and expand. I look forward to being engaged in the industry and meeting YOU!

If you are in the aquaculture / seafood industry and are looking for exceptional talent, WE ARE DEDICATED to finding the professionals you need and want to help you grow! Connect with me! I would love to meet you!

My personal mantra is to “Live a Legendary Life”. Live your purpose, maintain professionalism and integrity, never give up your dream, make a difference in the lives of others and enjoy what you do :) #eatmorefish
