Amanda Moller received a 2012 SSC scholarship.  Amanda graduated from Jensen Beach High School and was immediately  accepted at Florida Gulf Coast University where she plans to study marine biology.  “For as long as I can remember, whenever I was asked, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’, my answer was, and is to this day, a marine biologist”.

Amanda began volunteering at Florida Oceanographic her freshman year and served a summer internship.  Further, included in her 200 or so hours of volunteer work, she coached volleyball at the YMCA and joined the high school team her sophomore year.  Additionally, she takes part in the Earth Savers Crew working with the Environmental Studies Center.

In addition to all her school and volunteer efforts, she has worked about 20 hrs. per week earning money helping to pay her way along.
