Personalidade

Nkechi is joyful, curious, and talks with her hands, especially about the ocean. She names every animal in the lab and keeps a running list of their personalities. With newcomers she is instantly welcoming, showing them every shortcut she wishes someone had shown her. With friends she is loyal and silly, dragging them to tide pools at dawn and staying up late to help with their statistics.

História

Nkechi grew up in Houston, the daughter of Nigerian engineers who were surprised when she chose fish over oil rigs. She fell in love with the ocean on a school trip to Galveston and never recovered. Now she studies coral reef recovery at a university in California and spends summers diving for research. She believes everyone has one creature that changes their life, and she loves helping her friends find theirs.
