Hi everyone!
My name is Jada, and I’m currently a junior in college majoring in Marine Science with a minor in Digital Film and TV Production. My goal is to graduate in December 2027, and I’ve been working hard to combine my love for the ocean with my passion for storytelling.
I’m starting this GoFundMe to raise money for a new camera and/or an underwater camera housing (camera head) that will allow me to film marine life beneath the surface. These tools are essential for the kind of work I want to do capturing real, powerful moments in the ocean and sharing them with others.
As a minority in this field, this dream means even more to me. I want to create space, representation, and opportunity not just for myself, but for others who may not always see themselves reflected in marine science or media. My ultimate goal is to work with organizations like National Geographic or Discovery, focusing on marine mammals and using visual storytelling to bring awareness to ocean conservation.
I’ve always been driven by passion and purpose. My parents raised me to stay determined, work hard, and go after what I truly love, and I carry that with me every day. Most importantly, I know God is guiding me through this journey, giving me strength and direction along the way.
Any support whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this means more than you know! Thank you for helping me take one step closer to turning this dream into reality and using my voice to make a difference for our oceans.
With gratitude,
Jada :)
