About Cynde:
For the past 29 years, I’ve talked with thousands of people about whales. Through the Whalemobile, my education enrichment program focusing on a life-sized inflatable model of a humpback whale (that kids go inside), I can provide an engaging learning experience to introduce a unit about whales or be the expert that comes in to close it and answer student questions. I use whales as the inspiration to get kids to start thinking critically about what they can do to protect our planet. My obsession for whales as a child has grown into a greater sense of responsibility to take action on behalf of the wild world. Now, I strive to cultivate that same awareness, respect and responsibility in the next generation of ocean advocates.
