Andrea Gomez is currently working as the Communication Specialist at NOAA Marine Fisheries. She began this new role in July 2021. Presently, she is handling the Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office’s social media accounts (Facebook & Twitter), coordinating website design, maintaining stakeholder email systems, and assisting with roll-outs.
Being a NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST fellow helped Andrea understand NOAA’s structure and missions as well as gain hands-on experience through internships, which helped her prepare for this role. Andrea said, "I’m excited to be part of a science-based agency that is multi-disciplinary and focuses on saving the oceans and protecting marine life to interacting with fishermen and local stakeholders to promote our blue economy, and making the U.S. a global leader in sustainable fisheries.”
