Brittney Olaes
Brittney joined the Roundhouse team in 2012, working part time as an Aquarist and Educator. She worked her way up through the years and now manages the programs offered at the Roundhouse and oversees marketing and social media.
Brittney received her Bachelor of Science degree in marine biology at California State University, Long Beach in 2012. Her fondest memory of CSULB was attending a semester on Catalina Island, where she was able to conduct her own scientific study on the behavioral effects of purple sea urchins in the presence of California spiny lobsters and spend almost every day in the water.
In college, Brittney also worked as an educator teaching at-risk youth about college, life skills and careers, which ignited her desire to become more active in the community and make a difference through education. The Roundhouse Aquarium was and continues to be a place for Brittney to grow as an educator, remain active in the community, protect our oceans and find countless more opportunities.
