My name is Amanda Nichole Croteau, and I am a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen and marine scientist living in Sacramento, California. Despite growing up in the city, I fell in love with marine science through an undergraduate oceanography class at California State University (CSU), Sacramento. I’ve since committed myself to be as involved in the ocean as possible. Through this article, I share my journey as an Indigenous scientist and the experiences that have shaped who I am today and my goals as a NOAA Dr. Nancy Foster Scholar: sharing my love for ocean sciences with the community while studying coral geochemistry. I would not be here today without the love and sacrifice of my family.
For my master’s thesis, I am collaborating with Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the Gulf of Mexico to collect coral and seawater samples to determine how the coral collects nutrients and chemicals for its skeleton.
