VSI wouldn’t be the same without this lovely human! Nicolette, happy birthday!

Ok, we’re two days late wishing her a happy birthday (we’re always a little late), but we mean it nonetheless! Nicolette is our Volunteer and Intern Coordinator; she also helps out with whale shark spot mapping, fundraising and countless other tasks. She joined us as an official member of the team within the last year, but she has made such a HUGE impact and we’re beyond appreciative of her, her support, her hard work and her kind soul.

Thank you for ALL you do and we’re wishing you the happiest of birthdays! Help us wish Nicolette a happy birthday in the comments!
