Reef Relief has announced its 2026 spring interns: Rebekah Galvin, Malerie Scammey and Sage Hanley. They will be assisting with community volunteer events, fundraising, campaigns, educational programs and spring break coral camp.

Galvin grew up in Kissimmee, Florida and graduated in the fall from the University of Central Florida with a degree in biology, concentrating in ecology, evolutionary and conservation biology. She brings valuable experience working with children, having served as a substitute teacher and as an education ambassador.

Scammey comes to Reef Relief from Orlando, Florida, and is originally from Kansas. She is pursuing her associate in arts degree at Santa Fe College, with plans to obtain a bachelor of science degree in wildlife ecology. Scamney has been an interpretive ranger and park guide at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. She also has experience leading kayak eco-tours. 

Hanley was raised in Stuart, Florida and moved to Key West three years ago to pursue a degree in marine environmental technology at the College of the Florida Keys. She is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in marine resource management. She is in her final semester, completing her capstone project with Reef Relief as an education intern.
