The Context

!

The leadership of OceanX, a non-profit ocean exploration initiative, aimed to increase their global education offerings, and build out a team committed to nurturing lasting connection to the ocean and pathways that empower the next generation of ocean leaders.

What we did

AnnMarie was brought in to help design and pilot a variety of OceanX Education programming, and to aid in the recruitment and hiring for a full-time team based in Singapore.

Over this time frame, the following new OceanX Education programs were launched: Early Career Explorers, "Exploring the Ocean" lesson books localized to multiple countries, Livestream Q&As with FIRST LEGO League teams, OceanX Education Hackathons, Young Explorers Livestreams, the Ocean Portal immersive media program, on-ship Classroom Connects, Portside Education Tours of the R/V OceanXplorer, and OceanX VR programming.

AnnMarie is one of those rare professionals who can step into a complex and fast-moving environment and immediately start building. At OceanX, she took on multiple roles, leading educational programming, developing and delivering detailed curricula, and shaping tech and immersive experiences, all while communicating seamlessly across teams and stakeholders. What truly sets her apart is her exceptional network and ability to connect leaders and doers across industries, from science education to exhibit design, turning ideas into reality with creativity and clarity. I would not hesitate to work with her again.
