About Us

Adrienne



Adrienne is currently senior at Singapore American School. She is from Oahu, one of the eight main Hawaiian Islands. At SAS, she has studied college level environmental science as a junior and has also completed courses in marine and molecular biology.

Adrienne has been a member of SAS’s SAVE (Students Against the Violation of the Environment) for many years and has contributed to various projects. Such activities include selling recyclable bags (to stop the use of plastic ones) and designing a SIGG water bottle (to advocate the boycott of plastic water bottles). She has also designed several posters for the club.

Adrienne participated in the annual ICCS clean up for Singapore's mangroves in 2007 as a team leader. She has also been a participant in other initiatives and programs like the Roots and Shoot's Wildlife Parade and has been an assistant and volunteer in a nature learning camp regarding the water quality of Singapore's Seletar Reservoir.

Her two favorite environmental-related movies are Sharkwater and Wall-E. Adrienne also likes to pursue other interests like art, equestrian activities, and gymnastics.


Joseph



Joseph is a current senior attending Singapore American School. He was born and raised in Singapore. In his four years of high school at SAS he has had a major concentration in science due to his interest in engineering and environmental studies.

His passion for the sciences has lead him to study accelerated chemistry, take two college level physics courses, as well as study molecular and marine biology. Joseph even does volunteer tutoring for physics.

In 2007 he took part in an Environmental Science program at Brown University and has been interested in pursuing an environmentally associated field of study since. In the years 2005 and 2006 Joseph took part in the annual ICCS clean-up for Singapore's mangroves.

His other interests include debate and running cross country.
Joseph is not really known for having spare time.

Mr. Steve Early


Born and raised in rural eastern Washington state, Steve has been interested in the marine environment since he was captivated as a child by the adventures of Jacques Cousteau in his television program “The Undersea World”. Reinforced by family holidays to the sea shore, and a program of study at university in biology, he obtained his diving certificate and explored the freezing cold waters of the Puget Sound. A move to the Dominican Republic led to eye-opening (and comfortable) tropical diving in the Caribbean. A move to the Singapore American School and an opportunity to design and teach a course in Marine Biology to high school students 10 years ago has made for a highlight in his career.
