Meet Beck!
Hi I’m Beck,
I’m the founder and director of Ocean Stars Marine Education and I also deliver many of our programs!
"The magical world that exists beneath the oceans surface is one to be cherished, shared and protected by all. I believe that by instilling these values at an early age, showcasing the amazing animals that dwell beneath the sea, we can achieve great things and help protect our oceans forever.
I love introducing the oceans inhabitants to children and watching their faces light up at the amazing forms, colours and abilities of these magnificent creatures.
We'd love to share the oceans creatures with you!"
My Background...
So how did this all come about?
I remember the first time I snorkelled in the ocean and saw the magnificence that lies beneath the waves! I was captivated! My love for the ocean and its creatures has been growing since childhood.
I studied Marine Biology at Uni and then continued my career in marine education and marine conservation. I spent 16 years as a Senior Education Officer at Sea World, which has given me the best hands-on education I could ever ask for!
I have been lucky enough to work with and care for many types of marine animals throughout my career, but the two animals that have stolen my heart are sharks and rays. So much so, that I also founded a shark conservation website called “Save Our Sharks”, which enables me to promote and educate about shark conservation worldwide! An achievement I am very proud of and one which means a lot to me.
I started Ocean Stars back in 2015 because I wanted to create a meaningful way to educate our younger generations about caring for the ocean and it’s creatures.
Starting a business from scratch is no easy task, especially when it involves animals! But I figured with my knowledge, experience and passion, I could make it happen! Did I mention determination? I’m very determined!
The support I have received from my wonderful clients over the years has shown me that this business is important. Its values and lessons are important. It helps educate our children in the best way possible - by giving them their own unique first-hand experience with amazing ocean animals. It is my hope that it will help them to understand marine animals, care about them, love them and want to protect them.
This is a future legacy that our oceans desperately need. I hope that by instilling these values at an early age, that our younger generations will carry these with them throughout their lives. I truly believe the ocean is vital for all life on Earth and that we should protect it and cherish it.
There are two famous quotes that inspire and motivate me to do what I do, I hope they inspire you too.
