For how much time Mackey Violich '13 spends in the water, you would think she was a former Cal swimmer or water polo player.
Following graduation, the former Golden Bear lacrosse player moved to the Bahamas and is a marine biologist research technician, teaching high school students about marine biology and collecting data for graduate students. Violich is currently attending graduate school at Florida State in the oceanography program, working on her thesis on deep-sea biodiversity and species assemblages.
In addition to her work, she also volunteers by teaching the locals on the islands in the Bahamas how to swim.
