A 25-year old marine science graduate from the University Malaysia Terengganu. I'm passionate about nature, especially marine life, and have been actively involved in turtle conservation since 2023. I'm always eager to learn more about the ocean and contribute to preserving its wonders for future generations.
2025 TEAM
Abdullah
A current student from London and data and research coordinator for the season! I love nature and have a background in cheetah and vulture conservation as well as my experience now with sea turtles. I hope to expand my breadth of knowledge and provide a great learning environment for all.
William
Your 2025 volunteer coordinator intern, and I'm here to help protect these amazing sea turtles while making conservation fun and meaningful! I'm about to start Veterinary Medicine at Universitas Airlangga, and I'm passionate about wildlife, community engagement, and all things ocean-related. Can't wait to meet and work with the incredible volunteers of 2025! Let's make some waves!
Arissa
An inquisitive, observant and analytical 20-something lifelong learner and media coordinator. Despite my field of familiarity being rooted in everything linguistic, I've always gravitated towards witnessing and experiencing life underwater. I heard it's a whole world of its own, so I naturally feel drawn to dive as deep as I can to cultivate a sense of care for this often overlooked realm while educating myself on how my choices on land ripple into it. While fulfilling a childhood dream, it's significant to me that I also contribute to a cause that further empowers how I go about placing myself in the ecosystem, one that honours and preserves it. PTP serves as the perfect stepping stone to my deeper connection with a world that goes beyond what I've known.
