About Omar Lloyd
Graduate of the Johns Hopkins University. Majored in Environmental Studies, with a focus in environmental policy. At the National Aquarium, my role as a Conservation Technician combines my educational background in Environmental Studies with a deep-seated commitment to ecological preservation. Our team\'s efforts in habitat restoration initiatives have significantly improved conditions for both wildlife and the community, exemplified by large-scale projects such as Nassawango Creek Preserve\'s Atlantic White Cedar restoration, Fort McHenry Wetland\'s maintenance and community cleanups, Harbor Wetland buildout and planting, and dune restoration and invasive removal at NASO Dam Neck Annex Naval Base in Virginia Beach. Ready for any and all challenges.
