Realizing "I work for an Aquarium"

This is my first post on The New Blue, and I want it to convey how awestruck I am with this place and how I got here.

Three years ago I was teaching history to high school sophomores during the day, teaching middle school kids how to write news stories during the afternoon, and working at Starbucks during the weekends. If you had come to me then and told me that someday I would be editing content for the most prestigious aquarium in the world, I would have chuckled quietly to myself before breaking down sobbing at such a beautiful thought.

And yet here I am.

My official title is Editor and Web Coordinator for the Communications and Marketing Department at the New England Aquarium. This is my blog about the Aquarium. It's starting, literally, from the beginning. As of now, I know next to nothing about the vast network of people working here. As I find out, I'll write about it here.

Not only should there be some fascinating observations... but I will have multiple opportunities to pun on the word "fishy." Look forward to that!
