Tyler Smith is a student at Northwestern Michigan College studying Marine Technology with a professional foundation of communications, education, coordination/management, and media production. Tyler recently started the student section of the Marine Technology Society, a professional society for marine technology, mapping, hydrography, robotics, and the official student sector of the organization centered in the college. By leveraging the resources that exist in the area, they seek to have a student-led organization that will strengthen marine technology, and create real forward movement in hydrography, robotics and more.
Tyler is also completing an internship with the communications department of the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
