Hi there!

I am Jackie Johansen, and I am so excited to be able to teach your class this year. You can reach me through this course, and I usually reply within the day.

I am a mom to five and a wife to a great husband. I love to go outdoors and really enjoy gardening, hiking, biking, scuba, snorkel and water sports.

I have a bachelor's degree in zoology and conservation biology, and master's degrees in biology and in technology. I have been privileged to study in several parts of the world, including in the rainforests of Borneo (studying the pygmy elephant and orangutans), the Great Barrier Reef of Australia (reef health assessments for the government), the Middle East (drought and water resource studies), Guatemala (human health and environmental education), Yellowstone (working with a park geologist taking data and measurements), and the Sea of Cortez (whale sharks and marine health). I hope to share all of these experiences with you!

When I was your age and in college, I worked for San Diego Zoo Global, Pep Boys, and Ross :) Your life will take you so many places if you are willing to make the leap!

Here are some pictures of me doing my research.

Can't wait to meet you!

Jackie Johansen
