From Landlocked to Marine Biologist
Despite growing up in landlocked Western Minnesota, where freshwater rivers and lakes dominate the landscape, Savanna Hohenstein has always harbored a deep-seated passion for marine biology. Though the Breckenridge, Minnesota, native didn’t know it at the time, her decision to attend Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM) for her college education would ultimately lead her to a career pursuing this passion.
The 2020 Ecology and Evolutionary Biology graduate spent her time at MSUM working with marine life in the Oceanarium before some study abroad opportunities solidified what she wanted to do with her life; become a marine biologist.
Dive into Savanna’s story of perseverance and dedication that led her through 2,000 hours of unpaid internships, across three states, and into her dream career.
